An Indigo Bunting rests on a curved branch, his blue feathers set against a soft, warm background. Fine pencil strokes follow the contours of his plumage, from the bright blue of his crown and breast to the darker feathers of his folded wing. His feet grip the weathered wood; a small gleam catches in his eye.
I chose translucent drafting film for this portrait because its luminous qualities seemed especially suited to his feathers. Layered over toned fine art paper, it gives the blue a gentle presence. The small format invites a closer look at a bird whose color might first catch your attention from across a room.
