Birds Flocked Together

12x18 watercolor over gessoed matboard completed yesterday.  Some of the birds were sketched in colored pencil.  There are 9 total with a blue parakeet in flight.  This imaginary scene was previously done in other colors so all were lifted out and repainted using cardinals, robin, bluejays, etc.  Negative painting also for branches and leaves.
