6x8.5 watercolor, Uniball pen ink, and Caran D'Ache watersoluble wax pastels on
pink tinted Color-Sketch paper drawn Friday and done today, the third in a
series of four birds. I was answering a free lesson #sketchbookskool #art4all
in which you look at a subject and draw it by not looking at it. With this,
they cut you some slack and allowed 5 quick glances. Mid-tone underpainting
done first with
acrylics then followed by multiple pastels. It is now possible to go in with a small brush and blend the very vivid pastels since they literally melt once water touches them. I like this look so it stays for now. This third cardinal was fatter than the first two. Tomorrow will be the last bird and will be on blue tinted paper.
