DLP: A Bird

So this entry was completed using:

 Strathmore Watercolor paper, 

The Fine Touch gouache paints, 

Black Tombow ABT N15 Marker

I really didn't want to do this challenge

I'm not a fan of birds - must be that Hitchcock movie :)

So anyway I was reading A Reckless Witch

and this little bird/saying popped in my head.

I stomped my feet & whined, but then finally relented to giving it 15 minutes.

Sketched out the basic shape of a bird.

Smudge some paint on the paper (I started with the rose of the top wing)

and just feathered it out (haha - there's a joke in there somewhere)

Then I did the purple, and 2 shades of blue using the same strokes.

Added a beak, washed the paper with yellow because I don't like white backgrounds.

Once it dried, added a few lines details & the "quote" with the marker.
