First drawing and then the last drawing/painting. More detail in second. Trying to get the right effect, I wore the paper out some. I guess I was impatient and did not wait until paper completely dried. A lesson learned. -
This is what I did to try out the different techniques. Very difficult to regulate the amount of water on the brush. Took a while to get the hang of it. Still need practice but feel a little better about it

I tried watercolor some time ago and was not very successful. I have trouble getting the correct amount of water on the brush. Something I need to work on. It was raining so did this from our lesson on the computer. Colors were a little hard to distinguish but the suggestion of color was ok. I would have liked to blend the colors more but wasn't really able to . Anyway, will try some more and hopefully more successful.

The exercise made me look more closely at the bird and identify some of the markings that I had not seen before. the Wings were very hard until I decided not to put so much detail into them.

I have done this before and it really is amazing. I did have difficulty keeping my place on the subject. Good exercise.

good idea! I will have to practice with a video and then return to the outside. thanks

I need a lot more practice on this task. I found it very difficult at catch actions on paper. The birds were so fast moving around. The moment I put down the pencil the bird moved to another position. I did get a chance to really take in the behavior of the birds, so that was a positive.

I liked this exercise. It really helped me concentrate on the details. Amazing how things look so similar from a distance and then when looking closely how different they really are.

I liked this exercise. I went to 2 different nature preserves near me. I had the chance to sit in peace and quite and enjoy the surroundings even though I was very close to the airport and main roads. A little bit of heaven among the busy life around us. I was very surprised that I found no birds or ducks at one place while sitting on a bench in front of a pond. Very unusual, and if I didn't stop and think about it I would not have noticed. Lots to observe in both places. I will definetly do this some more

Not always easy to identify the different values . Trying to squint to see more clearly.

It always takes me a long time to sketch, so it is easier for me to draw from a picture. I need more practice so that I can move quicker and also with moving objects.
