Agave with Hummingbird & Flowers


This is watercolor on Arches 140 paper.  It was a value exercise for Kathy Summer's class. First I went to the light table and traced only the lights in the scene and then painted those. Went back to the light table and traced on only the mediums and painted then the same for the darks. It was extremely abstract while painting it but then this close up of the agave with the details of the bird and flowers really gave the finished picture a lot of character.
