Assorted Gulls

Assorted Gulls (watercolor 14 x 19) $225.00

I began working out a drawing for a long horizontal painting of Agate beach at sunset.  The light was punctuated by silhouetted sea gulls.  While working with my reference photos, I became fascinated by the way the sunset colored the white birds.  So I gave up the sunset painting and sketched out larger, versions of the seagulls instead. I like them and I may do some more seagull groups later. I may get back to that sunset too.

I painted the birds in first. I blended the colors on the birds primarily rather than mixing them on my palette.  The colors are cobalt blue, phthalo blue, quinacridone deep red rose, hansa yellow, and new gamgee.
