Whenever I've been needing a break from uni work lately I've been indulging in an old habit that I learnt from the wise Mister Jelle back in Botanical Studies: watercolour painting.
It has to be the most inexpensive form of painting EVER, it takes no time to dry, and there's always a way to turn a watery mistake into something different, which is why I love it. Somewhere along the line it picked up all these negative assocations with "low" art and timid little landscape pictures that were destined for a hanging life in old people's homes and the like, but I, for one, am a huge fan. And the paint always comes in the tiniest little tubes.
I don't think I've ever posted any of my own artworks before (mainly because I'm usually not happy with them) but I was pleased with the way this little bird turned out..
The colour of his heart/circle is called Brilliant Red. Which is, incidentally, my favourite colour.
