Drawings Birds

Here you can see how I have begun drawing British birds with watercolour pencils and gouash. I really like the thick quality to the gouash as it gives a really strong colour, however, I am also pleased with how the watercolour pencils allow detail and can be blended for various tone. I believe the drawings with a coloured background gives a bolder appearance and I have also started to think about pattern by repeating birds near one another with branch-like lines and patterns which I have created from looking at the birds feathers.
