About this work

This page shows two birds drawn in watercolor. The larger bird has black-and-white stripes, a red cap, and bright red under its wings. The smaller bird is plain yellow with a short tail. Both are facing away, as if pinned to a page. The larger bird looks like it’s been posed carefully—its feathers are sharp and detailed. The smaller one is simpler, almost like a sketch. Next, check out how watercolor lets artists mix soft and sharp details like this.
