I really enjoyed seeing how other people organized their journals. It gave me ideas on how I want to do mine. Watercolor painting is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. This course got me started!
This is the Malayan Night Heron. I choose the bird because I am visiting Taiwan and it was the first bird I was able to identify, and I think it is beautiful. I’ve seen it twice, by a pond hunting fish, and on the ground by a bike trail. Both times is was quite unafraid and allowed me to get close to it.
It is easier to draw from the photo as I have time to notice the detail for the bird doesn't change position. Shading is difficult and the feet. I noticed yellows and browns on the legs of the bird and that the bird was not all yellow. Recognizing the differences brings a deeper aspect to the subject. A more complex view of the creature.
