My first watercolor

Inspired by Maniam selvam, one of the finest artist in South India, I wanted to make a try of his painting published in a local magazine.
     I enjoyed painting  each and every inch of it.. and itz my final out come

Acrylic on paper

After a time consuming painting of an indian god, I thought to make a quick painting. Painting a cardinal bird is the first one in my to do list. I got  a cardinal bird's photo( thanks- Google). I wanted my bird painting to look crisp, so i chose acrylic than watercolor. Acrylics will be more good on canvas, But i made a try on paper.

I first gave a slight yellowish tone to the branches at the back. After completing my bird, the yellow tone of the bird disturbed the look. I changed the color from yellow to brownish white

Vola !!! My painting is done :)
