About this work

This painting shows a bright orange bird perched on a twisted branch. Its feathers are fluffy, with black streaks on its wings and tail. The bird’s head is a mix of red and yellow, and its beak is sharp. The artist labeled it *"Le Cou de roche mâle"*—that’s French for "male rock pigeon." The brushstrokes are loose but careful, especially around the feathers. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to build color.
