Gouache on watercolor. I put down watercolor first, put wax paper on top and then painted white gouache on the light areas. I started adding some color. I darkened the background. The flamingo needs more color and darks which will be easier after a day of drying.
Quick watercolor. Wet the paper, added green, yellow, and some magenta.. Let that dry. Came back and added more color, values, and salt. painted yellow and a little green over the background (to mute the salt texture a little). It needs a little more values and details, but is close to complete.
I worked a little more on the mouth (still needs a little more...) added hair and worked on the coat (added shadows). It is close to done - will add more details and fix a few things.
