If you come to my studio open house in a couple of weeks, you will see a flock of these small postcard watercolors (available for purchase). They are pure pleasure to create: I sketch in pencil quickly from those darling little mushroom birds I have perched all over my studio. Then I use liquid frisket for a dry brush resist before painting over that with vivid (and loose) watercolors. After the resist comes off, I go back in to add detail and more brushstroke. With the addition of a highlight to the eye, the little fellow comes alive!
