Continuing Watercolor (March and April 2016)

I added a small amount of masking to the bird and on the sand and reflection.  I added more masking to the water to do the foam.  I then did more washes to the sand and the water.  I gently scuffed up the masking on the water and on the bird's chest and did another wash making sure the paint went into the textured spots.  I added a few more shadows to the bird and the reflection.  I added a shadow under the wave.

I drew some flower shapes in the background with a pencil.  I added a bit more masking.  I added textured green as well as purples to the background and behind some of the petals.  I added some darks and dropped in some lighter color to create texture.  I painted some of the petals a light reddish purple.
