Charley Harper Inspired Birds

BEAUTIFUL BIRDIES

Inspired by Charley Harper

Charley Harper's bold graphic style 
is a feast for the eyes.

We're so inspired by his 
colorfully geometric birds -

we made a few of our own

smallSHOP style!

Birds by illustrator Charley Harper (1922 - 2007)

First, we practiced drawing in Harper's style -

we used minimal lines to capture 
the essence of each bird's posture

then added playful geometric patterns.

We studied Harper's spot on color choices

and designed our own color schemes 
using watercolor pencil and gouache.
