4.5x7.25 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper completed today. Red color is mostly restricted to head and upper chest, contrasting with
cold gray-brown nape, back, and wings. Pale sides show distinct brown
streaks, lacking red tones. Females lack bold face pattern and have more
diffuse patterning overall. We see these, often confused with purple finches, at the feeders in New Mexico. I tried a new experiment for the icy snowy background first covering it with a wash of white gouache, letting dry, then painting in the positive brown branches. When that dried, I went back over with another gouache glaze and finally splattering the white for snow.
