Bird Watercolours
It's World Watercolour Month and I've been doing a few outside of the various fandom challenges, so thought I might as well post them here.
I got a nice small square book with an adorable owl cover, so I decided the obvious thing to put in it was birds. It's Arches 200gsm paper, not too many pages and so shouldn't be impossibly daunting to fill. That's the theory anyway!
So far I've done three birdies.
A frequent visitor to our garden at home, the dopey Wood Pigeon. Ink and wash.
Yet to see one in the wild - the barn owl.

I'm still in two minds whether to go for just watercolour, or ink and wash so I think the birds will be vary the options a bit. I may add some ink to Jude, because there's a lot of texture in her feathers...though I am quite liking her like this so, maybe not.
