Loose watercolour

In July our local art society hosted a demonstration by popular watercolourist Jake Winkle who produced a couple of very vibrant paintings of animals.  Thus our theme for this month's evening workshop was to emulate his style with birds or animals as our subject.

In the interests of speed (and acknowledging that my bird drawing skills are not good), I traced my subjects from my own reference photos and concentrated on trying to achieve flowing, colourful washes.
