| 50th wedding anniversary, St. Augustine, Florida, 2020 |
My anniversary is this month and I always gift my husband Sandy with a project from my studio. Since the pandemic began in March, I've gone back to an old hobby watercolor painting. Since Sandy enjoyed my bird paintings for Christmas, I decided to go all out and paint a bird incorporated into a scene.
I chose to paint a Macaw Parrot which I drew from the "How to Draw Birds," book by Barbara Soloff-Levy. I used a youtube.com video by the Karen Paul Studio to work on the painting. I learned to draw and paint my leaves and flower from "Watercolor With Me in the Jungle," by Dana Fox.
I drew my design onto Canson 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. I used Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes to paint this scene. I started with the parrot and gradually painted the foliage.
I know my husband Sandy will be pleased with the results.
