Meadow Hummer

8x6 watercolor and ink marker on 140 lb cold press handmade rough paper done today. I used Rosa Gallery paints from Ukraine and a Sharpie marker along with STA Lictin black brush pen. This is my tenth neurographic piece. I first did a graphite sketch of the hummingbird then painted her in realistic manner. I then penciled in a vertical box for the bird. When dry, diagonal lines were put in along with loops and curves with Sharpie Ultra Fine pen; lines were rounded with brush pen. Then the outer one inch on left side and more along bottom L shape became my background. Spatter or splatter was done while wet, then more quin pink when dry. White space in the bird box was left white while oblong space encasing her were colored in with the pink pigment. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025
