Bluejay sketch

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink on paper.  Using a Staedtler 0.3 pigment liner I quickly sketched one of our backyard birds over multicolored wash background rather than coloring in the bird in the usual way.

Also since last Tuesday 9-1-15, I've posted daily works on Leslie Saeta's #30paintingsin30days challenge she hosts annually on her blog Slices of Life you can see HERE.
