This is my old bird, Jewel. That plant was one of his many favorite perches and he and the other three birds chilled there for awhile until they flew off somewhere.
Anyways, the technique!! Basically I sketched Jewel and the plant first with pencil, then I went and filled in the proper hues with watercolor, then I painted the background and when it was still wet, I sprinkled a little salt on it to give it a "crystal effect" then lastly I did the outline with India ink...yeah...
This is under "Still Life" but he was pretty still while I was paiting this.
Meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh...... This was done YEARS ago.
Done in watercolor, india ink, and SALT!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
