Last weekend Amy had us looking at the Jolly Christmas shop where I came across these chickadee ornaments and decided to use them as a color cheat sheet for these Penny Black birds cut from some Strathmore 400 series watercolor paper.
one thing about this, the colors are all wonky. that is on Neenah earthstone cardstock. the frame is a My Favorite Things frame and the two on the left have some white gouache "snow" splatter as the liquid glue I used on the branches decided to leak a little and although it dries clear it also dries SHINY. so.. I eventually added snow splatters to the ones on the right but, I never got around to photographing that.
My space is a wreck at the time this was shot so the table top with the over head lights was about all I could get to. You can find this challenge here to play along with us. Thanks for stopping by.
