Here's a playful little watercolor I did today on scrap paper (the other side has a landscape I wasn't satisfied with). With the exception of the beak, the whole thing was painted using an old bamboo brush, a gift from a co-worker at the pottery studio where I worked. Every now and then I go back to painting in this style for two reasons. One: It's easy for me. Since I spent so many years painting that way I don't think about it and that feels good. Two: It's relaxing. I've found it's a great way for me to loosen up and simplify my approach to the subject. Traditionally the bamboo brush should be held very lightly and be used in a fluid motion. It is a meditation and helps me focus.
