33 days, 33 birds: no. 22 (01.20.07)
33 Birds in 33 Days: a New Year's project in which a new hummingbird drawing will be published each day from December 30, 2006 to January 31, 2007.
Pen & ink and acrylic on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper.
4 x 4 inches with a 1.5 inch border.
The background has an underlayer of burnt umber, and a top coat of "interference gold" acrylic. The pigments in the interference gold paint pick up the light, and from different angles may look very a bright gold, or a white gold, or have a luminescent metallic sheen. Brilliant.
