Barn Swallow

6x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done last week of a single barn swallow (image courtesy Dave Slaughter/WetCanvas) I painted for one of that site's forum challenges.  The ref had multiple birds but I decided to feature only one and do it in a fairly loose manner of darks first, then midtone values, then lights.
