Gorgeous, Linda! I've got a pair nesting right outside my new little studio...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Kate! I had a hard time getting the red to "stand up". I finally put on a Cad Red, student grade.
ReplyDeleteDo you or anyone else know of a more transparent red that doesn't wash out?
I don't, really. Not sure how transparent Daniel Smith's Pyrrol Scarlet is sort of the same color, but I don't see it in the latest catalog. It's supposed to be semi-transparent, I think. I just use Cad Red. :-)
ReplyDelete...so beautiful. I love all the movement in the watercolor and the posture of the cardinal--that slight upward tilt of the head is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate and Kelly, Linda
