Great Blue Heron Strutting Digital Watercolour Work in Progress

As I mentioned in another post I often paint two or three paintings to go together as a grouping because one painting stuck in the middle of the wall doesn't look too great, at least not when they are on the same scale as my work. So, I've started Great Blue Heron Strutting and hope I can finish in a week, so I can give it to my son next weekend along with Great Blue Heron. The photo inspiring this painting is again by Michael Oberman whose heron photographs just blow me away!

 

Brushes Used Today: mainly using digital watercolours, a Fine Tip with the colour variability set to a two tone gradient

 

1. Stroke one shows the colour variability set to Hue. 

2. Stroke two shows the second colour of the two tone gradient.

3. Stroke three shows the combination of the two with the colour variability set to 

    Gradient . You need to chose Gradient on the toolbox so you can set the colours of it.

4. Stroke four shows the gradient stroke blended slightly with the Digital Watercolour
