Porch Bird

12x9 mixed media collage on Bristol paper completed last weekend.  The sparrow shape was sketched on a Birds & Blooms magazine card then cut out and adhered to a previous value sketch in black done with Tombow brush pen.  Color added using Montana acrylic markers.

Seagull Profile - Day 23 of 30 Day Challenge

4.25x7 watercolor and ink on a magazine insert card from Birds & Blooms.  I sketched the simple profile with Micron 01 pen then put in color; opaque white gouache used in some areas to block out the barcode.  Only 1 week left of the month challenge!

Since 9-1-15, I've posted daily works on Leslie Saeta's #30paintingsin30days challenge she hosts annually on her blog Slices of Life you can see HERE.
