4.25x6 watercolor and ink line on an artist magazine subscription card.  I used Micron 01 pen to sketch the sparrow and this is one of my favorite bird paintings.

Hooded Merganser duck

4x6 watercolor, ink, and Caran D'Ache watersoluble wax pastel crayons on another magazine insert card done last week.  Featured in an ongoing Birds A to Z online with WetCanvas this black and white waterfowl is quite striking in appearance.  Female merganser ducks are brown and grey.
