Happy Wrens Watercolor By Yvonne Pecor Mucci
This wren birdhouse has hung in our backyard for years. My father-in-law made this and my daughter painted it when she was very young. The wren’s sing to each other all day.
This is a small study (6 x 8) which I did to figure out color and composition for a larger version. I had the pleasure of painting with a friend and she suggested trying her favorite watercolor paper – 140lb Cold Press, Fabriano Artistico. I love the way this paper took on a lot of water letting the pigments be manipulated for a longer period of time. Lifting color was quick and easy. Now I am looking forward to working on the larger painting.
