These got terribly overworked and I'm still not happy with them. They look more like robin's egg blue stones than eggs. Have restated some lines here in pencil to see if that will help but definitely not a given.
They also would make more sense if done in a nest but that ship has likely sailed for this sketch. We'll see what I can come up with. (I'm writing this June 1st, having painted this much yesterday, the final day of Every Day in May challenge.)
I had an absolute blast participating in the challenge and I know my art is the better for it. I've tried a number of new approaches to my work, most of which I've been really happy with the results. I've also found that I'm problem solving situations with more confidence and greater speed.
Having said that I think the biggest thing to come out of this month is I've learned to slow down and be patient. Watercolour insists that I work at its pace and not my own. Accept that and all sorts of possibilities open up to me.
