Cheery Chickadee

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink line with Micron 01 pen on Masters paper done today, a cheery little blackcapped chickadee fellow anticipating Spring.  For the background I mixed white gouache with transparent watercolor for a more opaque design.  He will go into the Facebook 20 Birds in 20 Days challenge.
