Step-by-Step Bluebirds

I've been working pretty steadily on the new website recently, but took a short break today to do a painting of a few bluebirds. AND I actually remembered to take mid-process pictures too, the coffee must be working today.

Pen drawing over a light a pencil sketch.

Starting to fill in with watercolors. A lot of the drippy grayish tones are actually just the pen ink as it runs. It typically dries really nicely, usually separated into blues and reds. I love, love, love that randomness.

Finished!

On another note, the show here on Miami Beach has been confirmed! Sept 20th I'll have 2 or 3 pieces exhibiting at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens!*(jumps for joy)* There will be a bunch of us attending the opening reception and I can't wait, should be a great time.

And back to the website redesign :)
