Water Colour feathers, on tracing paper.

I tried using water colour on tracing paper because it was thinner than the standard paper, giving a delicate nature to them and it means they can be manipulated and shaper easier.
An artist that inspired me to try these water colours is Mary Hayes, one of her watercolour paintings is of a peacock feather, however, she uses much more dull colours. I Have used the colour pallet that I have previously been using to create my own watercolours.
