A Little Brown Bird

House Sparrow Watercolor

I was at the beach the other day watching little brown sparrows hopping around. I really liked the play of the brown rocks covered with brown birds with the bright blue ocean in the background, so I wanted to see if I could replicate that feeling without actually painting an ocean. I hope you enjoy!

Splatter

Lesser Goldfinch Watercolor

I’ve been enjoying the Lesser Goldfinches that have taken over my backyard the last few months. I thought that I should paint one.

I still keep feeling that my watercolors don’t reflect the constant movement of birds, so I’ve been trying out different techniques to try to capture that feeling. I think that this splatter effect works well.
