Negative space, sketchy lines, dry brush.

Using a 24 color Koi water color travel kit with water brush. Fantastic!

Two of the three techniques are used here. The color intensity on the other students' paintings below is inspiring. Going with lighter values forced me to paint multiple layers which looks overworked. The sky was painted twice and most of the grass three times! I miss Tiaki on the Royal Albatross Cam but am having fun painting her!

The dark evergreens and the browniest brown on the finch were the most challenging.

Assigning value is hard but practice sessions like this are helping. Most helpful has been to focus more on the negative space.

For whatever reason I lost my patience with the slow methodical method less than a minute in so just did a quick copy and really enjoyed it. He probably wouldn't have hawk talons if I'd gone a bit slower...!

This was great practice and now that it's on the screen I see a lot of areas that need more attention. The crosshatching, which I played with a little here, is super tricky and I'd really like to figure out how to use it well.

1. Was very thankful the image wasn't moving! The biggest challenge was proportion. 2. The beak shape, especially the curve at the tip. Helps to understand a warbler beak a little better. Yes, this will help journaling!

1. I've been intimidated by nature journaling but Liz's Robin watercolor class gave me some confidence so I thought I'd give this a try. I love art and can watch little insects and animals for hours - seems like the perfect combo! 2. Noting flora and fauna and general observations about the environment (sounds, colors, patterns, etc) and maybe leaving some space for extra details that can be looked up later. Love the zoomed in details in the first journal!
