Swan by Judith West

Lovely and bright, against the depth of the water.

You have got a really lovely reflection of the swan in the water, and the swan shape is very good too. Have confidence in your ability Judith and treat yourself to some nice paints and paper when finances permit - you won't regret it.

This is a lovely painted swan Judith, great proportions and reflections.

Many thanks to you all for your lovely encouraging comments. I initially started with the cheap paints, because I wasn't sure whether I would be any good, or stick with it. I already have a stash of decent paints and paper to use, but at the minute I'm using up the cheaper products as it seems a waste to throw them away.

I decided to have a go at using acrylics. Again until I build up my confidence in my work, as with the watercolours, these are basic cheap acrylic paints. Swan is from a photograph in a book on birds. Because I did not know how this would turn out, I painted on the cardboard from the back of a watercolour pad. Newbie at art, so any comments much appreciated, thank you.
