Using Social Media for Input

As with many things, getting a second or third opinion on a painting can be beneficial. I worried that the white mark on a belted kingfisher’s forehead would be distracting. So I posted a photo of my painting on an Asian watercolor group page on Facebook to ask for advice on how to deal with it.

The input ranged from “leave it alone” to try softening it with muted colors or fine brush strokes. Based on the advice of a watercolor teacher whose work I respect, I chose to leave it alone.

What do you think?
