Pretty bird

I probably am better sticking to pencil and eraser vs overworked watercolors but colors are fun. I tried to better measure proportions (except the big eye) and use short/lighter pencil marks.

Getting outside. How to add white lacy rime frosted branches in front of dark trees?

Feathers are difficult! And, overworking is a problem. I am using the 2020 Cornell bird calendar for reference photos.

I had most success with wet on dry and layering, requiring dry time. Can the mixed paints sit in the pallette for a day or so? Seems difficult to recreate the same color mixes. I feel that my wet on wet and dry on dry skills need more practice. I would like make better impressions ofsnow, water, and sky using wet on wet.

Long ago I used watercolors but not much. This class is very helpful! I have a hard time seeing difference between Tone and Shading mixtures.

This exercise requires patience and focus. I had the most difficulty with the splotchybelly shapes because they are more irregular and "floating" vs connected by other lines.

The eagle was sitting in this tree for quite a while, just moving the head to different positions. Because it was gloomy and the bird about 200 feet away, I took a photo, zoomed in and brightened it to better see the side wings, feet, etc.

It is a challenge to render yellow and bright colors of the bird using only a pencil whereas light/dark and texture of branches and leaves more fruitful and less challenging.
