Chinese Watercolour Painting

I'm going to do a course in September on Chinese watercolour painting. it is something I never did before and decided it would get me motivated to do real art again. Chinese watercolour painting is very disciplined and is meditative in nature. The brush must only make a mark that is deliberate and the calligraphy is something that all Chinese people have to study from an early age.

I have had some days over the summer painting and this is one of my avocets.
