A Jean Haines Kingfisher

A beautiful effect Diana, the loss of the form here and there is the great charm of it.

This is beautiful, Diana... what's the name of the book you won? I don't think the bird looks deformed, by the way!

Thank you Saturday and Peter. All credit to Jean. Jan, the book is World of Watercolour. I got to meet Jean and watch a demonstration. Wonderful

A beautiful kingfisher Diana, I try to paint loosely but it never happens and it all ends up detailed work. This is great.

Just enough detail - a real winner Diana

Bockingford rough med weight 1/4 imperial. Used the book I won and tried a Kingfisher in Jean style. Great fun though the bird is rather deformed.
