August Hummingbird

7.75x7.75 alcohol inks, gouache, ink pen on white slick foamcore done this afternoon first by scattering Willow green on top of spritzed 91% alcohol.  After it dried I could pick out a hummingbird shape so sketched it in using Lictin 0.3 permanent ink pen.  Feathers and beak are gouache.  Lastly I added Senorita Magenta for the pink blooms he is guzzling from here.
