More watercolour birds! I recently got some watercolour supplies of my own; including lovely paint and a few proper brushes. One channel-billed toucan and a ruddy shelduck for practice later, and these three came to be. All common garden birds here in the Netherlands; a blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), a male common blackbird (Turdus merula) and a european robin (Erithacus rubecula). The robin and blackbird were commissioned, the blue tit was a gift.
I had a blast with these, and learned a lot from all of them. All ideas, techniques – and some things I should definitely not do – which can be used for future paintings. It’s wonderful slowly getting to know a new medium, bit by bit.
