Blue Jay in Watercolor

[Joy]

This was done as a challenge for another site. It is mainly watercolor, with some Inktense on Hahemühle toned paper, A5, 200 gsm (95 lb).

Joy, that is beautiful. I like the feathers and underbelly. Fun.

Wow! Excellent! I love that paper. Isn't it lovely? This turned out so smooth and flawless. Take a bow for this one.

Excellent Blue Jay!

Jo, Ayin, Margaret - Thanks for your kind words.

Ayin - Even though I love Hahnemühle the Collection, which is 140 CP, this just felt like heavy writing paper to me. I thought I would try something different, since it is toned, but I wouldn't buy it again. Heaven knows I have an abundance of art supplies and am attempting to "talk myself out of" buying more.

Love it, it has the feeling the bird is just about ready to take off.
