I missed the live show tonight but watched the You Tube post. Biggest and best bird song ever, Leonard Skinner’s Free Bird, just my opinion.

Very well done! I will do those over the weekend. I have mixed emotions because watercolors are already challenging for me but even more so in a timed manner regardless of taking a little longe. However, Gettin’ Sketchy is always super fun to do!
Thank you for starting the thread

Great watercolor painting. Love it.

Did my watercolor birds. Sloppy but fun! I made it during alloted time, but more time equals more sloppy as watercolor is still a struggle for me!

I did the lovebirds, but I certainly didn’t try to do them in 45 minutes or even an HOUR and 45 minutes! LOL!! I do not do well under the pressure of a timed drawing. Not sure why. Anyway, here is my finished painting. Not loose at all. Very tight. Probably too tight! Lots of dry brushing! AND their feet are very weird! I even lost an entire toe on the left-most foot. LOL But I do love their little beaks.

June, Harleysmom, Sonia, and Brenda,

I really enjoy seeing all of your artwork. This was a fun Gettin’ Sketchy to watch and you all have created adorable little birds for us to see.

Mine are still floating around in my head!!
