Watercolor greeting card of a Baltimore Oriole for a friend who got some good news recently
Baltimore oriole bird, watercolor painting on a small greeting card. The bird is perched on a branch with the body facing right but the head turned left. The head and wings are black and the belly is bright orange. Dappled leaves are blurry but visible in the background.

#watercolor #traditionalart Winter is coming.
A mostly white watercolor postcard with subtle shades of pale blue for the barely visible sky, and purple blush for the shadow around a snow drift. In the foreground are a few whisps of golden colored dead straw and in the distance is an evergreen tree -- the only strongly colored object in the whole painting.

I swapped out quin gold for new gamboge. I like this better. I would still wish for ultramarine instead of Paynes gray though :)

I learned recently about the Zorn palette for oils and I thought I would try it using watercolor. I picked quin gold instead of yellow so it doesn't get vibrant oranges. And I picked Paynes gray instead of black. But then watercolor doesn't mix the same way.

I genuinely enjoy taking close up pictures of grass. It's simple and complex at the same time, common but also unexpected to look at it at close up.

Another tiny watercolor painting. This is a repeat of a composition I did recently as a digital painting. Hard to say which turned out better, they both have different charm.

I'm really happy with this one. Chery Blossom Path, miniature #watercolor painting. I changed up how I photograph them too, and I think that worked out well.
Miniature watercolor, bright pink cherry blossom trees line a path, during golden hour with the sun shining directly from the left of the view. Cool shadows contrast the golden highlights. The path goes straight into the distance of the painting.
