Trace, Ink & Paint - Bluebird

So, a few days ago at work, there were some scrap office supplies, and I was able to procure and undercabinet light.  It's about 4 ft long, and I thought it would be perfect as a light-box for doing some watercolor tracings.  I'm not the best by any means at drawing, so tracing is a good option for me.

I wanted to do a bluebird, so I found a very simple bluebird online and printed out out an outline.  Here is a picture of the undercabinet light, the outline, and then my tracing.

Here's the finished painting below.  I somewhat messed up the area around the throat.  I wasn't paying attention to the water and it bled a little bit.  Other than that, I'm pleased with the overall result.  The whole process of tracing and painting took maybe 35 minutes.  I cut the paper to 4"x6", so it should fit nicely in a frame.

Definitely much quicker and easier than the bluebird I had done before.

Hope you enjoy.
