Northern Flicker — Colored Pencil Original

"A flash of gold against the gray." Inspired by a quiet visitor at the edge of the yard, "Northern Flicker" is an 8 x 8 inch colored pencil study that captures this woodpecker's speckled breast, warm rust throat, and the bright red crescent at its nape in patient, layered detail. Created on professional-grade Claybord, this work uses the surface's smooth tooth to render the fine stippling of feathers and the soft gradient of an overcast sky behind the bird.
