Water color practices

This sunday I tried to practise some water color paintings.The painting of an apple was started one week back and I really could not find time to finish the painting with the apple slice  (by the time the apple started to rot).So only yesterday when I found a new one in the kitchen I grabbed it and a knife(for cutting the apple of course!) and started painting. Only one  slice found its way to my paper and the rest I found delicious!.

Then there was this article  in the papers of the native birds disappearing from kerala.(R.Vinod kumar).I attempted at painting the white bellied short wing  bird of which the picture was given.This bird has different shades of blue feathers except for its belly.Its now seen it Munnar and Iravikulam area.Its a small bird but the painting is of bigger size.Hope to comeback soon with improvements.Do visit again.
