Watercolor painting by
The blue jay painting was the fastest painting that I have done. When I look at it I can I can see why. I think that I should have taken more time and moved the bird more toward the middle of the painting. So now I am not going to only spend 3 or 4 hours on a painting. Time is much better spent when you are taking your time. I love using the blue colors in this painting and trying to make the feathers look real. The red rasberrries are a great complimentary color to the blue colors in the bird. This painting was a very simple three or four color painting. The value of the colors is very nice. It was exciting and interesting to use different colors and values in all of the paintings that I have done.
