Composition in Painting
Watercolor, like other form of paintings, is a sort of visual communication. And like an essay, there is “composition” to any painting or drawing.

By planing the arrangement of the birds before painting and bring some variety of sizes and colors into it, the painting becomes much more interesting. So here is the one I did on photoshop:
