Hello! I’ve been learning a few new techniques in watercolor (in particular how to control splatter textures), and I did a painting combining these new techniques. With this winter season it’s actually quite on the spot!

Sounds like the title of a fairy tale, but I’m actually going to talk about 2 paintings I made with my new set of iridescent watercolours :). The first one is a magpie, one of my favorite birds with its tuxedo-like plumage and its petroleum colours. My previous trials of magpies had not been very satisfying, but I thought this new set of paints were worth making another attempt, and I’m quite happy with the result!
