Graceful and mischievous, the Black-Throated Magpie-Jay pauses mid-feast, its vivid blue plumage radiating against a warm red ground.
A technique I thought of, building off of working on toned grounds in oil paint, working on top of complementary colors, allows the subject to vibrate and jump off the page, enliving the shadows and creating realistic depth.
An original painting created in watercolor and gouache on paper, this work captures a fleeting moment of nature’s indulgence — where elegance, color, and vitality converge in quiet harmony.
Measures 10x6.5 inches.
