Pompous Pigeon

9x12 mixed media on paper, another common pigeon most people overlook.  I sketched him using Staedtler Calligraphic duo pen, then used watercolor, Caran D'Ache NeoColor II metallic crayons, and Montana acrylic markers.  Paper is Canson and is a sheet I put behind other works thus all the little marks.  When dry I spelled the bird's name by ink stamping background and foreground.
