Another sample for Jeanne's challenge to go freeform with paint and then add outlines. I painted the bird with watercolors (Shinhan)... the branch is watercolored too, but I used the blow-through-a-straw method to try to get it to branch a little more freely. Added leaves to the branch with my homemade circle stencil and some stamps from my latest stamp release from Impression Obsession. Sponged some inks through drywall tape, stamped the sentiment, and that was it!

Love the look of this-I may just get brave and try my hand at a bird later! The free form branch and stenciled circles look great with your awesome bird and the pen lines add so much to the look!

Really beautiful! Love the way the bird is facing away and looking to the side. And you managed to make the BG interesting but still soft.
