White Swan Watercolour - Making a White Subject Come to Life

Thanks for the valuable feedback Nadine. I understand what you're referring to. I know it needs more depth. It was the fear of ruining it that made me hesitate. But it's only paper, right? I'll give it a go! :-)

you know one of my old students said that back to me this week when I was freaking out painting on a 1m sheet! Thanks for the lovely review.

I don't know, 1m is pretty big, I think it's fair to freak out a bit first and then push on ;-)

That's gorgeous Sandra. I love the reflections too, they look great. I think the only thing I would do, and it's tiny, is put a slight dark to show where the under feathers of the front wing (the darker small wing under the beautiful big one) ends to push the back two wings back - so hard to describe - atm it looks like that darker back wing is part of the front back wing, i can see a slight change in the light, so just a tiny little dark line between that light and the back wing, not all the way, but just to show where that wing belongs. But it's really good.

I can already see areas that need improvement, but I thoroughly enjoyed the class.
