Watercolor Goldfinch

 I mentioned awhile back that my husband Sandy has an interest in birds. Since I was fairly successful painting two, now he wants three more. Without tutorials or traceable outlines it's kind of hard, but I persevered and found an outline on Pinterest for the Goldfinch.

I traced the coloring page with my light box adjusting it for what I needed. I looked at several of my husband's photos. It took all day to paint, but I'm happy to report it came out just fine! 

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