Joyful Cardinal

4x4 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, a sheet I used underneath smaller works. After a careful pencil sketch of the cardinal, I used three red and red-orange hues of paint and a mixed black for his mask. Lots of fun to paint these imaginary scenes with birds. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Comical Cardinal

4.25x4.25 acrylics on gessoed watercolor paper of an imaginary male cardinal. It was fun to put all the reds and oranges I had into its feathers. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith
