Cormorant
Cormorant by @denise (Denise Chan)

I wanted to try out this nifty technique - basically, you paint a watercolour using only black and white, and then add the colours using Photoshop!

Not quite a masterpiece, but it's only my second watercolour!

Well, for only being your second watercolor, that's quite good! The comorant's feathers look quite soft - I want to pet that lovely birdy now. Being more of a pencil person, I can't really constuctively criticize the artwork too much - nevermind the fact that it's good anyhow! - but one thing is that the tailfeathers look sort of embedded in the rock, or perhaps the rock's giving way to the tail. Either way, it looks a bit off. I guess some of the water looks a bit splotchy, too - but then again, it makes it look all water-colory.

Very nice job. Keep painting! ^_^
