That’s a really nice picture - kind of looks like a field sketch rather than from a photo. I hope I end up being able to capture that kind of feeling. Nice one!

I enjoyed this first sketch, but I didn’t find it easy. I struggled to give it some life - but perhaps drawing from a still photo hampers this too. And it looks flat - I’m not sure about giving it depth. I also found out that I don’t know how the watercolour paints behave... On the plus side - it is a lovely little bird, and I liked looking in detail at the plumage structure, subtle shades and colours. This is what I’m aiming for - a more immersive period of observation. I really don’t know how I’ll cope with a moving subject though, and a fleeting moment to try and catch how a bird looks and moves.
