Description
Original Pen and Wash Painting of a Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)
This is a mixed media project, I have used ink pens for the drawing, watercolour paints for the wash layers, and a white gel pen for the highlights.
Red-winged Blackbirds are abundant across North America, and the males in particular are easy to spot with their flashy red and yellow shoulder feathers. Many people link their beautiful song with the first signs of spring. They have a varied diet, eating insects when they are abundant in the summer, but switching to seeds in the winter. In the breeding seasons Red-winged Blackbirds can usually be found around wet places.

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
