Negative Space
After preparing a drawing, I like to paint the negative space - the background. In this picture of a female cardinal, I liked what I had, so I quit without filling the entire frame. At other times, I have felt obligated to fill the entire space, and subsequently, have ruined some pictures.
I decided to quit while I was ahead, because watercolor is not a game of perfect.
