Crow sketch in watercolor

[Joy]

I did this a part of a challenge on another forum. This is a watercolor, 5 x 8, in a Handbook Journal. I bought it ages ago before I decided to use only cotton, and did not expect much from it. Also, it is only 95 lb. It held up better than I thought, for this sketch of the crow. Much better than Canson, but still kind of splotchy. Limited palette of Cadmium Yellow, Quinacridone Rose, and Pthalo Blue.

I like the loose, washy look of this crow!

I'm with Donna. I like the looseness of this, and the colors you chose are perfect!

Thank you both for the encouragement!

Wayne, so kind of you to comment. Your exquisite paintings are missed. It feels like an a part of CS is missing. Every year or so, I dispose of a fair amount of paintings, like this sketch. One can only keep so much and I have a digital record of them.
