I’m pretty pleased with this watercolour. It is officially one of my own and not done with any tutorial help. It is a looser style, which is actually more my style, as made visible by my oil paintings. Any road, this local Belted Kingfisher (actually a pair) live down by the shoreline and can be seen almost any day of the year. The rusty belt marking shows it is the female as the male has no rust colouring. I noticed part way through the painting process that the rusty belt should be lower on the body, not up like a necklace. Too late… once you have started a watercolour you are a bit committed. Never-mind, all good practice.
