robin redux
Okay, let's call this Watercolour #25A. Today I decided to take another crack at yesterday's robin, but this time going for something a bit more expressionist and abstracted, aiming at a more minimalist, Chinese-calligraphy approach to it. Trying to put a form down in as few brushstrokes as I could manage. I used the same brushes and paints, but actual watercolour paper this time [you might be able to make out a bit of the paper texture in the photo].
Once again, not amazing but not abysmal. Gotta say, though, the whole process of putting the brush down more mindfully each time, trying to get it down right in one stroke [not always succeeding, but trying] — I found all that very instructive. That alone made the exercise worth my while.
