Watercoloring Fantasy Hummingbirds

 This week Kia has shared this video from Ellen Crimi Trent on "easy watercolor hummingbirds" seen here on YouTube. 

So, I used a watersoluble pencil for the loose sketch of this hummingbird on a square piece of Arches cold press so, I did use Daniel Smith paints with both of the shimmery blue-ish green shades I have besides other regular colors. this is the wet view of that first layer.

not really sure you can see the shimmer from those paints when they dried.

Added some paint to the eye and a little bit of lines to the body and wings. 

Added some very loose flowers on the red-ish side of pink and drug a wet brush through some of the splatters to make it more loose. 

I did cut the watercolor panel with an Paper Rose lots of squares die, the part that is the Cross stitched frame cuts away from the center piece so, I did tape these back together on the back side of them. The sentiment here is a reverse printed one from Simon Says Stamp. The printed paper is some eggplant gypsy paisley from Daisy D's and the base is textured Bazzill. This one is 6" square in real life. If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge at SCS here. Thanks for stopping by.
