My 45 minute version. I might do more to it. I used pan pastels in background. ![IMG_4827](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/f/faf061b48aef38ff6e9adeb6581de4f937439891.jpeg) ---

@Brenda Brenda, This is lovely. You would never know that it was a 45 minute sketch. I do enjoy seeing birds and drawing/painting them. Again beautiful I’d frame it. Teri (w 1r) ---

Looks good Jane. Please post if you do it again. I brightened the red just a bit on mine. Brenda ![IMG_4854](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/69e0a0016f9d729af3d0b4da9def68712aeef947.jpeg) ---

@janed @Brenda Both your cardinals are beautiful, especially with color adjustments. I am halfway through the getting sketchy lesson. I decided to go a little slower than Matt. I didn’t want to mess it up because I want to frame it. It’s such a beautiful bird. I had started it during lunch break the other day on some random white, textured paper I found stashed in my sketchbook. I hated the texture so I abandoned it until I got home and got miteintes paper same as Matt’s lesson. ![IMG_3675](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/2/24d8a5d58593b31d2953338dd29153ae1afe21b7.jpeg) ![IMG_3645](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/a/aa24b224888e329dd3089feba219f8ae40650a5f.jpeg) ---

I’m done with cardinal. I’m ok with it, I don’t like how my background turned out. ![IMG_3718](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/0/065ccd93a8d39970aa44e837c1e824ed73da0060.jpeg) ---
