7.5x12 Brusho on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done yesterday using previous bird sketch in an ongoing series. Trying out different media and keeping the subject matter the same is a fun way to explore new techniques, especially those you have no expertise with doing. In this solo bird scene, I used small amounts of watercolor to clearly outline the bird's body as the Brusho was very blurry from using too much water. For the body, I used black and brown Brusho crystals. Tomorrow I'll be repeating the bird shape and combining with inks.
