Lookout Gull

12x6 watercolor done last week, brush only, so no pencil drawing or sketch first.  This fellow was from one of my Indian Rocks Beach photos taken in August last year.  I used a fairly limited palette of raw umber, UB, Coastal Fog, and indigo.  Support used:  Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper.
