For works like this it really highlights how you paint and use pencil together... or at least one of the ways. So do you make the drawing first in pencil and paint or the other way around? Or a little bit of both, depending on the image?

This one started with a pencil or pastel sketch and then some paint was applied. After the paint dried, I then drew on it more and painted on it more going back and forth until I got to what you see.

It also depends upon the image. Some images start with a blob of paint or a collage element and I envision the image a go from there.

Thanks for answering this question! I've thought about doing some pencil work with oils, but it doesn't come out quite as well. I do have a color pencil line-drawing that I might attempt this technique with - I was going to leave it be and then it got a little damaged with an ugly black smudge when my husband and I moved! I didn't know how I was going to salvage it, but this might work.

I love the colour in this, and the way the shadow is on the side closest to the viewer, as if the bird is hiding something, or is about to reveal something!

Many many thanks! I am pleased you like it.
