Description

Quick, watercolor-smashy practice piece to try out different techniques. Trying to let the watercolor do more work instead of trying to force it to do what I want it to do!

Watercolor on cold-press paper, 8X10 inches

Love the bright blue--makes the peregrine markings even more striking than usual, plus it's light enough to see the details. I think doing the eye in brown instead of orange keeps it the right tone (bright orange or yellow with the blue would be a little overwhelming). I'm amazed at the precise detail you're able to get from watercolors. Beautiful piece--I think it captures the fierce, arrogant, yet dignified nature of a peregrine, and it's very beautiful.
