Little Bird On Branch Watercolor Painting

 Hello friends!  It has been a while since I've been posting here.  It's a long story, but I will sum it up with one word..... LIFE.

But, I am back, and I've been making art.  Watercolor, pastels, pen and ink, line and wash, colored pencil, and drawing/sketching, along with Zentangle.  

This is my latest watercolor.  I created it in a paint-along/tutorial by Kathy with Sunset Peonies.  Here is a link to Kathy's blog/tutorial https://sunsetpeonies.com/spring-bird-on-pink-blossom-branch-watercolor-paint-along-tutorial-demo/

I found Kathy's style very relaxing, and her instructions were clear and very well conveyed.  She is an amazing teacher, and extremely talented artist.  I plant to take more of her tutorials.

I used Daniel Smith watercolors, on a Canson XL watercolor pad for my journal.

I will be painting more birds for a while, trying to build my technique.  Practice is the key, so the more birds I paint, the better I should get.

I will be posting here again, so if you are still with me, I hope you will come back. I will post some of the other work I have been creating.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Blessings,

Day four of World Watercolor Month.  Today I created in my watercolor art journal.  I used my Daniel Smith watercolors, keeping myself to just the  basic set of six.  I love mixing colors to get different ranges and temperatures of color.  A little hand lettering for my verse finish my composition.  

And, here is a close-up....

 
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed your day, and made time for yourself, to do something you enjoy.

Blessings,
