Hummingbird watercolor

Posted Oct 28, 2019, 2:51:37 PM UTC

A hummingbird I painted as a gift for my mother in law. She loves humming birds.

Mostly watercolor but some gouache

If anyone who's good with watercolor has suggestions/critique for me, that would be lovely.

    Watercolors is one of my favorite mediums. This is beautiful. A lot darker in tonality than a lot of watercolors I've seen, so its very unique. The coloring gives it vibrancy, depth and dynamism. I can almost see the hummingbird move <3

      Thank you! part of the reason it's dark is because i used some gouache which helps achieve darker colors

    This is gorgeous, the details are done wonderfully. I really enjoy how the petals have the subtle variance in colors to show the "veins" of the plant, and how softly the feathers are defined.
