“I chose soft browns and muted blues to bring a sense of calm and focus to the feather's form. The gentle transitions and layering of watercolor allowed me to play with the subtle edges and organic flow, capturing the delicate nature of the feather. I used splatters and subtle brushstrokes to breathe life into the painting, ensuring each part tells its own story while working together as a whole. This piece reminds me to embrace simplicity while celebrating the intricate details that make each moment special.”
