Did you say Birds???

I'll be the first to admit, I can't draw birds, realistic birds.  I never seem to get their body portions right or their feet.  No matter how often I attempt to draw or paint them, I'm never happy with the results.  So I finally said to myself, the hell with it, and just draw birds...so that's what I've done.

Poppies and more poppies

For the last couple of days I've been painting poppies.  I can't tell you the number of poppies I've painted, but it must be at least 25,if not more.  I'm taking an online watercolor class with Michelle Brown.   Michelle packs a whole lot of valuable information, showing materials to use and how she uses them.  One video was on back grounds, another on supplies, another on using the supplies, and finally painting poppies.

This is the first time that I've actually had all my painting supplies in front of my computer and painted along with the videos.  I could get use to painting this way.

Poppies

This is a piece I did in my watercolor journal as homework for Alisa's Sketchbook delight class.  Working small and wet-on-wet is getting easier, but I still have a lot to learn.
