seabirds

(8x8)

(8x8)
My homework from a lesson in Val Webb's Birds in Watercolor and Beyond.
In this lesson, we painted the sky in ultramarine then used various lifting techniques to creat cloud forms; the birds were added later. Since I chose white birds, I had to use some gouache.

Love the clouds and birds. I am very keen on clouds right now, and I think it's because they've been especially spectacular this summer.

XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
