Thanks, glad you liked the colour-mixing! I think the saving grace is that I didn't mix enough colours to turn it all into muddy grey...now that would have been terrible. :)
The Rainbow Bird by @denise (Denise Chan)
Another of today's batch of watercolours I liked enough to post. As you can see, I have trouble limiting my palette! grin

No, NO, dear, this palette isn't garish at ALL! It has enough color to keep it interesting and lively (unlike my stuff, which tends to have a monochrome feel to it), but doesn't look like you were just using the entire crayonbox.
The watercolors--you're doing a bang-up job on them! {0-3 GO YOU!

Thank you for the encouragement, dear!
I'm trying for the duotone look in my watercolours, but I just have to take one look at all those marvellous shades available and I can't seem to help myself. Still, I managed to stop after three colours, so all is not lost - even if they were the primary colours. XD
Will HIDE the rest of the box, next time...
It's a good thing you didn't limit your palette. I love the mixture of colors. At first you're like, "Nice purply-blue bird," but when you look closer, it's not just a purply-blue bird, it's one with all the colors of the rainbow.
It's summer.. I don't have to sound smart. I know a first grader could've written what I just wrote. Anyway, the main point is that I really like this picture.
