Description

One of my goals for December was to paint several different birds to give to various people. This one was the fifth one, and also one I spent a bit more time on to build up colours. To speed up the process a bit more, I basically copied what I saw in the reference, so I wouldn't need to spend extra time figuring out my own compositions for this and 8 other bird paintings.

Another thing I tried to do, was using as much leftover paint from older projects as possible.

Made with Van gogh and Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolours on Clairefontaine Paint-ON á Grain paper, A5 sized.
