Spontaneous Bird and Red Branch Painting

This painting combines techniques I've learned with watercolor and Asian brush painting. I wanted to don something really spontaneous and this happened. Well, I thought it came out pretty good so I'm using it a project for one of my college courses.
Before I started to paint this I practiced painting the birds free form. You can watch the videos below to get a general Idea of how to paint birds in brush painting. They look so simple but they can be quite difficult to paint.
