Blue Pelicans
Still in progress here...I did some "lifting"....you can re-wet some dark areas with a brush, scrubbing slightly, and the pigment will loosen and can be dabbed up with a paper towel.
Here's a close up of some of the lifted areas.
I still thought it needed something, so I added some pen and ink lines and flourishes. I may still add some colored pencil strokes too. I like the colors in contrast with the white birds. I thought the complimentary scheme of purples and yellows would be different. It's just a fun piece...another Louisiana subject. It will be for sale in the gallery, or I can ship!
