The Laughing Parrot
This postcard sized artwork is a portrait of a cheeky parrot. Measures 5×7 inches, mixed media (colored pencils, black art marker, and gold paint pen) on light orange Canson pastel paper.
I thought I’d try a hand at doing some smaller artworks – which actually are more of a challenge for me as I am used to working on a larger scale. I want to also see if I can try doing some ACEO sized works as well in the future.
