I have been checking out the Artist Demo Days on facebook and love the demos and chit chat about painting. This is one of Ali Boards demos of a puffin I did yesterday in order to get a looser approach to painting. It isn’t quite right but I am getting there.
It has been a while since I had my paints out and this is the first attempt using black watercolour paper. Alison Board was doing a demo for SAA so I followed along with that (more or less). This is a mixed media piece, and I really like the shimmery Rembrandt watercolour for the wings. You can’t really tell from this photo but the mount is quite green so it brings out the greens of the background even more.
