This daily practice with a narrow focus - drawing chickadees- impacts my art in so many positive ways. I’m experiencing improvement in - observation skills, knowledge of chickadee anatomy, confidence in drawing, control over line quality with my fude pen, blending and texturing with pencil crayon, use of watercolour over gesso and white gel pen on top of that for highlights, comfort with values and shading.
