Avocet Watercolour - Less is More

Nice bleeds, ripples and reflection.

A bright and fresh painting. Beautiful little gritter.

Pippa, I can feel her walking delicately through the water. She is beautiful, and I love how you chose to photograph your painting against those lovely bunches of purple berries. What kind of bush or berry is this?

Thank you, Diana, the bush is a Callicarpa (in german Liebesperlenstrauch) and it is very decorative in winter. 

Thank you, Pippa! I have downloaded several photos for future reference. I love how they grow in little clumps together! Have a lovely evening or day! :)

Very nice Pippa - it looks like a young bird, I'm guessing because of the light around the eye, but if you asked me to paint a young bird I'd have no idea what to do! Great wet in wet bleeds on the wing, really nice mixing of colours.

I really enjoy painting birds with Nadine's instructions :-)
