Playing with Gray and Blue

Great Blue Heron's have such lovely subtle shades of blue, gray and peach. I also love studying the shapes of bird eyes.  Concentrating on a few little details really can make an unfinished study believable.

I was playing with a small Prang watercolor set before I popped the colors out to refill with my Hobein tube paints. You can see a formula written in the upper left corner of the page.  Another note in the upper right is a reference to Spartina... the name of marsh grass, but in this case it's a reminder of the local company that makes wonderful handbags, tablet cases, wallets..... Ladies, check out Spartina449 :)

Don't you just love the information you can find in a journal?
