This little chick showed up mid-strut, wings thrown out wide like she's just been announced onto a stage — purple overalls, a matching bow, rosy cheeks, and an expression that says she knows exactly how cute she is. I wanted something bright and a little theatrical after painting so many sleepy, wistful characters lately.
About This Painting
Watercolor and gouache mixed media on a 2.5"x3.5" ACEO card. Her downy body is soft layered watercolor in warm cream and gold, while the purple overalls and bow are opaque gouache, giving them a flat, saturated pop against all that softness. Her little pink cheeks and orange beak add just enough warmth to keep her from looking too serious.
This is a one-of-a-kind original — once it's gone, this exact painting won't exist again.
