Motivation today was... so low I'm sure it has nothing to do with the lack of sleep...

Stepped out of my comfort zone a lot today, and I’m not sure what I think about the result. Watercolor and colored pencil.

Not sure what to think??? GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR FIRST ATTEMPT AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

My brain is telling me I did good, but my perfectionist self is listing all the things that could have been better…

It was a learning experience, and it’ll get better.

"Warbler"
Pink-headed warbler!
Interesting how many of the birds which are yellow in North America are red in South America. This species is not sexually dimorphic so this colorful bird could be a female.

It’s never too late to start!

It's only three days in. And you can skip those days if ya want.

You’re both right. I need to work on reducing my perfectionist streak.

Managed to get 6 done last night. I want to finish this time so I am doing very small watercolor sketches to make them quick and easy.
