Birds in watercolor

Colored pencil is a new medium for me and I am delighted with the results I am getting. This series of birds are for a Sketchbook Project I am doing for Royal Brush Company. All of these were done with a simple 12 color set of colored pencils by Royal Brush. The colors are primary - red, blue and yellow. Secondary colors of orange, purple and green. And light blue, light green, pink, white, black and brown. Parrot Barn Swallow Eastern Blue Birds Blue Jay Cactus Wren Chickadee Fruit Doves…

Each bird flies differently. Eagles majestically soar, the flight of a Hoopoe is like a butterfly flight, it looks like it's swimming in the air. The flight of the hummingbird is like a small helicopter, hovers in the air and even flies in the reverse direction.
