White-crowned Sparrow

White-crowned sparrow: sepia pen and wash I’ve been pondering how best to get a quick patch of color on my birds when I have the time for it. I tried watercolor this morning. Not great, but I can see the potential with a bit of practice…

Of course this requires TAKING your watercolors with you. I went over to the arboretum to draw the wood ducks (one of the most colorful birds in the country) that are hanging out at the western end. I had pens but no watercolors. Oh well.

Tomorrow’s the Sketchcrawl at the zoo, so expect some non-native birds… unless I can find some wood ducks there!
