Warbler ACEO

2.5x3.5 miniature mixed media bird portrait on a book page done today.  I used a black charcoal pencil to sketch, then watercolor for the warbler's body and highlighting with Conte' pastels.  When dry I mounted it on 140 lb Kilimanjaro cold press watercolor paper.  This is an ACEO (Artist Card Edition & Original) and is Copyright 2018 Kay Smith.
