The Beginnings

A new watercolor project - birds on a beach. The project started with the photo (upper right), followed by a value study and composition sketch (upper left), and then the first layer of watercolor washes. I'm looking forward to continuing this one.


Update 4/1/11:
Success! I really enjoyed the way the birds popped out of the painting via their cast shadows.  The log may still need a little work, but I'm cautious about doing more and perhaps messing it up.  I'm very happy with this one.
