Chilly Chickadee

4x3 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Grumbacher paper painted last month that has been gifted (not available). I used a marked up paper used to put small works on to catch drips. These marks were ignored as pencil sketch completed then painted for a unique effect. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Chickadee Landing

6x6 watercolor and ink wash and line on Masters paper also done Sunday, continuing on with my chickadee series.  The first ones were in acrylic, and now have switched over to my favorite medium.  I'll be doing a live demonstration 10 February 2014 in Brownfield, Texas featuring yet another chickadee, a watering can, and pansies for their art association.
