9x12 Brusho and a small amount of watercolor on the sparrow's feathers of burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. I first spritzed water at random with a fine mister spray onto dry paper then dusted Brusho watercolor crystals using Olive Green only. Colors ran and patterns emerged. When dry I did a pencil sketch using a small bird figurine from life then did the feathers making the imaginary male sparrow come alive for #National DrawABirdDay today.

Beautiful. I love the suggestion of foliage and how lightly it's done. And, of course, the sparrow!
Thanks for describing your technique-- I've never heard vh of watercolor crystals.
Laura, many thanks. Brusho crystals are a lot of fun and so creative.
