My first watercolor painting as an oil painting artist :-)
I hand-sketched the scene and followed techniques taught in a tutorial by Deb Watson. There's so much to learn when trying a new medium, so the entire painting was a challenge. For my next one, I'm going to upgrade the quality of my paper and paints. My paper buckled quite a bit, so I created a digital frame as a background to hide that happy little accident.
I did enjoy the ease of setup/cleanup and being able to take along my watercolor supplies to my local park and paint en plein air. So happy I found a way to paint birds too.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Lovely! Very nice work.
Thank you paintingblondie and LPM for your kind words.
Nice cute bird! Paper quality can make a huge difference.
Thank you Joha59, I’m looking forward to using better than student quality paper!
Really nice. Hard to tell it’s your first attempt at watercolors! The bird is great and I really like the branch and details! Well done!
Thanks so much Dan53☺️
