"Male Cardinal"4"x6" ~ A Painting A Day
The mate to yesterdays cardinal.
I use my own photographs as reference. Starting
by taking a few extra moments to study the subject.
Then I usually do a rough sketch in my sketchbook.
I think it helps with the hand to eye connection.
Next, I hand draw the subject onto my watercolor
paper. Almost every painting no matter the size
or subjects starts this way.

Stunning in composition, color, and technique. On my monitor, the breast looks orange, and I do like that!
Handsome fella'. Beautiful!
