Expressive Watercolor Birds: paint a Hummingbird without Pencil Sketch

Thank you Nina! I use the Strathmore 400 series watercolor sketchbook. I like it, although the paper is not cotton. However, it is 140# watercolor paper. I am going to take your class that you referenced in your feedback. Thank you :)

Hi Liz! What a beautiful artwork! Love that dreamy ethereal vibe! The plants in the foreground create beautiful depth. Not sure whether you have done this on purpose, it seems like all flowers have turned their heads towards their guest and are having their conversation. It would be a lovely illustration for a fairy tale!The shine of a humming bird transmits that fast movement of wings and the feeling of flight! What sketchbook are you uding? Looks like it works well with watercolors and water)Great practice of lost edges! I have one class dedicated to this technique of lost and found edges <a href="https://skl.sh/3ZlQgmq" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">skl.sh/3ZlQgmq</a> Thank you very much for sharing your creation, it´s a pure joy to see it! I would highly appreciate if you could leave a class review. Have a creative weekend! Best wishes, Nina

I took some artistic liberties with this one. I'm experimenting more with lost edges and softer subjects.
