Watercolor birdie! Part 1

Oh my goodness!!! I don't where I've been, but I had no idea that there were such a thing as watercolor canvases!!! I made this happy discovery at hobby lobby and I just HAD to get one! 😍

I started by sketching out the birdie with a watercolor pencil. 

Laying in the backround with sap green and cadmium yellow

More to come...eventually :)
