Last year for Christmas my husband gave me a charming little owl figurine, and I've been wanting to paint it ever since. I've also had this teensy silver key for a long time, so many years I've forgotten what it goes to. So I put the two of them together. The orbs in the background just appeared while I was painting, well you know how that goes, right?

Saturday Cafe

"Saturday Cafe" 5x7 inches, watercolor and ink on 140# coldpress paper.
This is from the Daily Paintworks "Crowd Challenge." I wanted to see how much I could change things around from the photo, so I made some of the figures into cats and birds, and then added other figures from my imagination.

Ink and watercolor on 5x7 cold press 140# paper.

Fantasy genre. 

I started out this painting in acrylics, but those birds wouldn't fly, so I redid it in ink and watercolor and it worked out to my satisfaction. From now on I'm asking the painting what medium it wants to be done in (I am serious). 

I used a halfway dried up black Pitt pen to ink it. Pitt pens are archival and have India ink and can be used all the way until the ink no longer runs. When it's halfway dried up, it makes this very soft line like a pencil line, especially on a toothy paper. You can even do gray, subtle shading with a halfway dried marker pen.

Can you guess which bird is which?
