a laughing gull


Day # 25 of this direct watercolor challenge . . . and I must admit that I am missing my fountain pens for simple ink and wash sketching! But I am feeling a bit more relaxed and confident in applying watercolor.

Today’s watercolor sketch is from a photo taken at sunset on Galveston Island this past April, of a laughing gull taking a stroll along the beach. Normally the gulf water in this area is a bit gray but at sunset it takes on a lovely strong blue color.
