What's Goin' on in my Studio, My Head...

These lovely fowl strut their stuff on one of my walk routs here on Maui. It’s not a large watercolor but it was so much fun to paint - haven’t done a watercolor in quite some time. It’s painted on cotton illustration board. I used cadmium yellow, gold ochre, sepia, lunar black, cobalt and verditer blues, quinacridone sienna, scarlet lake, Pyrrol red, and a teeny bit of turquoise. Oh - and a bit of ultramarine blue and perylene green too.
For the color studies I made a small black and white print and cheap, light weight copy paper. I put graphite on the back and went over the lines of the major fowl with ball point pen 3 times in my sketchbook to make quick quick drawings to explore color on. I liked the warm one the best. Any ?? - please email me :) Hmmmm trying to get two pics into this post. Will figure that out, but for now will make a new post for the sketches.
