Chickadee in Wedgwood-blue Sky ACEO

Here is today's work, a tiny blackcapped chickadee, ACEO size 2.5x3.5 sketched with Micron 01 pen on old novel page...was lucky to find a page with text about "...afternoon sun...Wedgwood-blue sky...above the sea...blackfaced". Watercolor was added then the page was collaged onto wc paper 140 lb.  (Ref courtesy WetCanvas)

Below is the actual size:

7x5 watercolor over ink line using Micron 01 pen on old discarded novel page paper.  The ink sketch was done first about a week and a half ago, then color was added later.  I did use white gouache on its breast under the red area.
