October Crow on Yupo

12x9 watercolor on medium weight Yupo synthetic paper done today.  This October crow was painted from a WetCanvas RIL image featured in the current weekend drawing event in the All Media Art Events forum.  With black animals or birds I try to see every color nuance within the neutral tones and do the same for white. This fellow had many colors within his graceful feathers.
