Bluebird in Watercolor

 

For Christmas, I decided to use my hobby, watercolor painting for gifts. My husband Sandy has always had an interest in birds. For him I painted the Bluebird following Sarah Cray's tutorial from "Let's Make Art."

I was so proud of my painting that I gave it to him early. Well, what he knew of the Bluebird, had no yellow in it. So I took the painting back and checked the colors out on Pinterest. I found the bird came also with a bit of red where I painted the yellow. I used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, sponge and took out the yellow. I painted a red in its place. It worked and my husband Sandy was happy.

I used Winsor and Newton, Cotman watercolor tubes on Canson 140 lb. watercolor paper.
