Primary Birds

Watercolor painting of three birds on a branch, one red, one blue, and one yellow, arranged as a primary color composition.

Medium: Watercolor
Size: 9.5 by 11 inches
Notes: Completed August 2021. Created while practicing birds in different media. I used separate reference photos for each bird and combined them into one red, yellow, and blue composition.

I was practicing birds in various media, and I thought it would be interesting to build a composition around the primary colors. Instead of working from one scene, I used reference photos of each bird and arranged them together on the branch.
