Loose watercolor

I tried really hard to keep these loose by holding the brush quite far down the handle. As you can see this worked for looseness, but not for control.

I actually quite like the pitcher and overall like the heron, except the beak area is way too wide. Maybe I can work on him with a fine black pen. Or then again, maybe this is a good practice piece and when I try this again, I will use a smaller brush for the beak.

I woke up feeling a bit under the weather this morning, so even though I was planning to go to the life drawing class, I decided to stay home with tea and an afghan. I am planning to go next Friday and will share with you then.

We are getting more snow and very cold temps again. I am dreaming of Florida and the roar of the surf with temps in the 50s and 60s.....
