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.

Beautiful! Artists are allowed to create the world that they see through their eyes! Then, their work invites the rest of us to visit that world and admire all the beauty we find there!

Thanks for another fabulous entry into our challenge at 613 Avenue Create!
