Hi friends!

Today I want to share with you a really easy and fun watercolor exercise that I think you'd love.

This exercise entails "drawing" directly with the brush, and painting using the minimum number of strokes possible.

We will use birds as reference, as they are perfect for this kind of exercise. They're easy to divide into shapes and values, and you don't have to get it perfectly for it to look good.

Here are the links to the original reference images:

I hope you enjoy this one, and let me know what you think!

Cheers,
- Liron
