This piece presents a small bird rendered with careful precision, its form defined through intricate graphite detailing and subtle shading. The feathers exhibit fine patterns that emphasize texture and dimension, while the branch beneath the bird adds a tactile element, featuring natural knots and grain. Surrounding this realistic portrayal, the background introduces a gentle, warm gradient punctuated by scattered watercolor spots of varying sizes, which create a quiet atmospheric depth without overwhelming the composition. Along the left edge, a vertical line constructed from old copper wire and clear beads adds an unexpected tactile contrast, blending mixed media elements seamlessly with the drawing. The work unites meticulous naturalism with abstract texture, inviting viewers to appreciate the delicate balance between detailed observation and thoughtful material layering.
