11″ x 15″, Dr. Bombay India Ink on Khadi watercolor paper

I didn’t plan this one out too much, just did a simplified pencil drawing of the Song Sparrow perching on the cup plant based on a photo I had taken. I let it sit for a day as it looks on the right, but in the morning light, I realized I had to do something drastic to get some contrast into it, so I used India ink straight and brushed it around the leaves. It’s now very dramatic and, I think, far more interesting.
