Parrot: A Free-Flow Watercolour Masterclass with Jane Davies

This is gorgeous! What color is your green? I don't have green gold so need to use something else.

Pretty sure I used Hookers green! But any green can work I think. :)

Love these blooming effects on feathers! Is it salt or drops of water?

Thank you! Those blooming effects really give an illusion of feathers right? :) It's salt drying on a slight tilt. Usually salt never works for me, but I'm slowly figuring it out.

Cool idea to leave salt drying on a slight tilt. I agree, salt could be tricky, it depends quite a lot on the humidity of paper, but when it works, gives really amazing effects! You´ve got gorgeous feathers!) It reminds me when birds while cleaning open up (not sure whether it´s the correct word) the feathers and you can see white ones close to the body.

wow, wow, wow!Beautiful, love that green, and the intensity at the base of those feathers, really wonderful piece and that bough just finishes it off brilliantly!Thank you so much for sharing her!

Thank you! I didn't have the right colours, so I thought I'd work with it! :)

Thank you! Finally the salt worked in my favour. ;)
