Bird Gathering
Now for something different! While on vacation I tried my hand at some Japanese Painting since I read somewhere that it is a helpful skill to know as a watercolour painter since it teaches you to create paintings using a minimum of brush strokes. This is a painting using all the techniques that I have learned so far. It is copied from Yolanda Mayhall's book The Sumi-e Book. The painting is done using a classic calligraphy brush, ink on watercolour paper. Technically, I should be using rice paper or... if I get really good... silk.
