Female House Sparrow
Watercolor, 2012
8" x 8"
Another weekend at the cabin, another bird, this one a female house sparrow. I used another paper called Fluid, 140 pound, cold press. Its softer than Arches and the grain is a little finer. I have used this block only once before on another bird, I like it!
I used my Windsor & Newton watercolor pan, ultramarine blue, burnt umber, burnt sienna, raw sienna, and a little ivory black for the eye. I messed up the reflection on the eye so I used a little blotch of white gouache to recover.
This bird will be matted and framed and hung at The Belle, Jenny MacLeod's shop near our house.
