Stately bird on a pink background. I’m not sure if the roundness of his body translated with the ink. But I like the openness of the background.

I am pondering if I should roll out another length of rag paper and abuse it with watercolors to make backgrounds for more birds… BUT I have all this nice white cardstock that I rescued from the recycling bins at work (with the rebranding, we are changing all our paperstock, and huge boxes were up for being tossed. A bunch of us artist types grabbed the nice invites and divvied them up). So I really don’t need more paper!
