Yellow Bird,revised. 8 x 8 watercolor and pen on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2016 Sheila Delgado
I added a grey wash over the branches that did not have it in the first version. On screen, the pen marks are not showing up as well as they do in person.
We had rain most of the morning. Soft and steady. No sign of the ducks, then all of a sudden a female came crashing down into the pool. Sorry to say I didn’t get the shot. Two seconds later Mr. and another female landed on the grass. They stayed for about an hour. They had a snack, preened and climbed the stairs to the top deck. But I am guessing they had enough of the wet, as they did not get in the pool again. Pip also made a brief visit with a few friends.
Sweet little yellow bird! Good fun to see the duck show…
Glad you enjoyed them Corinna 🙂
What a gorgeous little yellow bird Sheila! Love your visiting ducks too!
They have been very entertaining Wendy 🙂
I’m liking the gray wash—it unifies all the branches in a way that showcases Yellow Bird more effectively.
Nice to hear Dotty 🙂
Hi Sheila. I think the wash helped – it seems a bit more unified. Your ducks are just too cute
Thanks Val 🙂
That certainly upped the contrast great!!!!
Good news Carol 🙂
