I chose this bird because it was small simple and something easy to do. The colors of the bird made me more interested in it because the design in the original picture make me want to build the bird myself.

I had a lot of problems in the first place once I began the whole project, the first animal I was going to build was the Red Wolf but then I was running out of time to finish building it. So my solution to my problems was to find a new animal thats smaller. It worked out just great because I finished my Finch in time. That was my big problem, but the small problem was finding the right colors for my bird and making sure I made the feathers look realistic.

I really enjoyed making this bird it was something simple to do, painting it was a fun! I loved how my bird turned out to be. My little sister even enjoyed it, its something I'm willing to take home and keep for her and it would be a good memory of something I made and really enjoyed it as well. This would be a great project to do with younger children at parties or just something fun whenever your bored.



Water painting my bird was kind of a challenge because you had to mix colors to get the right color you wanted. It was fun painting with the water colors because it's a simple thing. Getting into the details was a little hard, like on the wings they had little details on it.

I think my painting was successful because I enjoyed painting it and drawing the picture. I would save this picture for a while because I think it turned out very nice. Its going to be a great memory for when I'm older and remember the day I painted this bird! I simply enjoyed this project it was a lot of fun!
