Slate-Colored Junco. 4"x4". Watercolor

Day 4 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. 

This is one of my favorite birds only seen in Georgia in the winter at our feeder--he shows up really

well in the snow.

  I've been traveling, and look forward to getting back home in my studio, where I hope I'll have better results with more supplies, especially better watercolor paper.

Over the River and Through the Woods. Watercolor 4"x4" on Canson coldpress 140lb paper

Day 1 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge, January 2015. I did this challenge in September, all oil paintings on 6"x6" panels. This time I'm going to try watercolor.Today I did a 4"x4" watercolor. I'd like to get better at this medium, and thought this would be a good way to practice. Wow, do I need practice.  There will be some real amateur-looking paintings here, but I hope after 30 days I'll see an improvement. This is on Canson cold press paper that I've had for a while.  I don't really like the texture--too smooth, and doesn't seem to absorb water well.  Will try more with it, maybe soaking the paper first.
