10″ x 13″, Colored pencil and chalk pastel on paper
I’m often amazed at how colorful God’s creations are, especially when I get a chance to appreciate the saturated, wonderful colors with my eyes. Whenever I can immerse myself in the splendor of these saturated tones, I am reminded of the sheer magnificence of the world around us and its Creator. However, I discovered that the precision of photographs often comes at the expense of the loss of these vibrant colors. Therefore, when experimenting with colored pencils, I decided to draw out this picture I took with purposefully added colors and a more decorative background. I hope to not only capture but also expand on the subjective appreciation I had when seeing these beautiful birds using color contrast and a mix of different texture expressions. I hope to convey to the viewers of this drawing how I feel about nature and inspire further imaginations.
