Step-by-step, feather by feather. 🕊️
There’s something magical about watching a bird come to life through watercolor — layer by layer, color by color. This little pigeon surprised me with how much personality it took on as I painted. The iridescent greens, the soft lavenders, that warm golden belly… pigeons are so underrated as subjects. They’re basically tiny, strutting rainbows. 🌈
Swipe to see the process — and let me know in the comments: do you prefer the early loose washes or the final detailed feathers?
