Cardinal at the Feeder

8x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on 140 lb cold press Masters Touch premium paper sketched in pencil done last week. Love the inquisitive look in the bird's eyes as he stared at me. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Sly Cardinal

10x8 alcohol inks on paper done today, another in my experimental bird series.  A sketch was done using a Sharpie ultra fine point then various orange and red inks put in for the cardinal, followed by beak, feet, eye, then his black mask.  With brown for the branch I then placed several drops of Cloudy Sky blue in background.

Fat Cardinal

6x8.5 watercolor and Faber Castell Pitt XS pen on Color-Sketch paper done last week, a whimsical look at a fluffy, fat male cardinal sitting out on his branch or twig.  I love doing these fun birds in art, a common sight outside my windows.

Scarlet Macaw

12x3.5 watercolor parrot, a scarlet macaw, I did last night for a short class demo.  Colors were put in wetly on dry 140 lb watercolor paper and allowed to mingle and mix.
