Heron Profile

9x10.25 mixed media on paper from some of the Florida bird photos taken on the last trip in 2014.  Using Pigma Micron 01 pen I sketched the bird's profile.  Watercolor added next with white Montana marker used on its feathers.  Background was dark blue purple marker overlaid with mixed gouache of blues, greens, and violets.
