Well, I got up my courage and painted a color drop bird. I have always wanted to paint birds and really haven't had much success at all. So I decided to sketch one out from a Dover bird book and flooded in the color and blotted up for a light source as we do in the Color Drop Flower class. He is on a scrap piece of paper and I would have continued more leaves but I ran out of paper. He was fun to do. I think that I will try some more and drop in some Dr. Martins Ph Concentrated watercolors. Then they they will really be bright. I used the sumi-e brush. He was fun and...yes...quick!! You know me...I am into instant gratification!

Love this birdie, Martha-the possibilities are endless! You are so gifted.
What a lovely sweet bird. I also love things that come together quickly. Am loving your paintdrop flower session.
He's gorgeous Martha,and yes you should do more birds.
Oh Martha! You are going to have to create more workshops!!!! I love this bird! My dining area is a collection of birds and leaves ~ now what have you started!
Instant gratification is good...and it comes after years of practice. I hope you've got a color drop bird class in you after the poppies, which I will sign up for, too.
Love it all. You're amazing.
I love your bird Martha! So cheerful. It would be so much fun to make those! I also like the colors you chose. Did you mean you used that oriental brush we use for the Color Drop Flower class? Love it!
What a lovely bird! Hope you make more.
I love him! I just discovered your blog and went to the class site and watched the class supplies video. Can you tell me which Etsy shop for the brush and where to find the watercolor set?
