This is the first time I used watercolors since middle school in the 70's. You can tell I'm much more interested and spent more time on the bird (finch) than the landscape. I'm actually kind of amazed on how well the Rosy Finch came out. The Landscape was extremely challenging for me and did not come out how I would've liked.
I always considered myself an observant person but now I'm observing in more ways. I notice a change or something different that stands out. I have more questions! I've been a birder but now I'm noticing the trail in a different perspective. I see trees are all different colors (winter) of brown and gray. How the green of pine trees really stands out and how a larger pine is a much darker green. The bottom of a tree is dark gray and then lightens as it reaches the sky with a pale gray. Then the sun comes out and everything changes! Theres a shadow of branches. The sky appears darker in the distance above the trees but straight up it is a bright carolina blue!
