Feather # 56 — American Woodcock

“In this piece, I used soft, earthy tones like gentle browns and subtle grays, allowing the feather to appear both delicate and grounded. The watercolor technique enables smooth transitions and layering, creating a sense of movement and life. Through the gentle brushstrokes and the faint splatters surrounding the feather, I aimed to capture a quiet sense of comfort and reflection, inviting us to pause and find peace in familiar moments.”  — Shayna, April 2023
