Wonderful Waxwing

7x5 watercolor and ink on discarded book page done today, sketched with Pigma Micron 01 pen by Sakura.  The cedar waxwing is one of the images (courtesy WetCanvas/Dave Slaughter in the reference image library) I've featured in May's watermedia forum monthly challenge.  The challenge part was to do your painting in sketchbook style.  Here I have made the tree branch an aspen for added pattern.
