"Flamingo" is my 3.rd "Colorful Bird" painting. A feast of colors and feathers.
As written before: I totally enjoy the process of these paintings. No media like watercolor can be so unpredictable, and yet exciting to work with. It is really a balance of control and letting go.
I love most of the textures watercolors creates. Sometimes these textures are mistakes in paintings, but I force/wish many of them to happen, for an exciting surface. Afterall this is a mix of realism and abstraction :)
I took the ref-photo at a zoo years ago. I have several flamino-pictures, but for this square size, I needed one where the neck was not all stretched out ;)
As I cannot scan a canvas, the file is a digi-photo, and even I have a good camera, the file does not provide the same justice to the real painting.
The painting are sprayed with fixfixative and varnish, to be lasting without being behind glass!
50x50 cm on watercolor canvas.
