Day 9: Heron

 

We see lots of herons here on Vancouver Island so I really enjoyed painting this beautiful bird.

I used Prussian blue, yellow ochre, burnt umber, and Payne's grey.

I'm starting to get a feel for the looseness, but I struggle with the final details. They often seem a little stark to me. 

I'm still following the tutorials from the book 30-Minute Watercolor Animals by Kiley Busko.

The next painting is a mouse, I believe. Definitely a mammal -- I remember that much:)

Happy painting!
