Image of a hummingbird. Hummingbird flying with tropical flowers and green leaves in the background.
The hummingbird's head is dark red/purple in colour. The original drawing/painting also features gold.
The mood of this drawing is tranquillity, but also activity. The green background and the fact that the flowers have less detail create tranquillity. Activity is aroused by the hummingbird in the foreground with its wings spread open.
As a bird artist, I find it a challenge every time to draw a bird that conveys a certain atmosphere.
The original drawing was made on watercolour paper with watercolour paint, coloured pencil and pen.
