Image of a magpie. You see the magpie from the front. The bird is looking to the left. In the background are dark blue flowers with long stems. The sky is purple.
The background of the drawing was created by me. The colour purple has something mystical about it and I thought it suited the magpie well. The colour also contrasts nicely with the black and white of the magpie.
As a bird artist, I try to challenge myself every time and draw different birds. Or pose the bird differently. I often think up the background myself. That is also the case with this picture.
The original was made on A3 size watercolour paper. Painted with water colours and used coloured pencil and pen.
