A bee-eaters watercolor today. Haven’t done any birds in a while and this lovely reference from Dave Nightingale was lurking in the reference pile. Tried to keep things as loose as possible and it came out extremely well I think.

Your work is outstanding. I am enthralled with the loose style you achieve. I paint in a tighter style but would like to loosen up more . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Betty. Painting loosely is very satisfying but you’re on the right track if you can already paint more tightly. I find you have to know how to paint ‘tight’ before you can start loosening up some edges.
