some birds

American Goldfinch, 7.5x11, painted in class with SaltyWaterArt.

Cardinal, 5x7

7.5x11

I must have 5 or 6 reds on my big palette ... but i always find the cardinal's red hard to match. Maybe when it comes to bright reds, which are really just so appealing!, close is good enough!

Night heron, 10x12, painted in a Domestika class, Naturalist Watercolor with Leondro Nunes. I like Domestika course: inexpensive and the lessons are short, in case you are pressed for time.
