« Gertrude was surrendered to Carolina Waterfowl Rescue in Charlotte, NC after being kept in a laundry room with no windows for 12 years. She was found with a broken wing and kept in this room in a tiny parakeet cage with a wire bottom. She suffered from wing atrophy and foot curling due to lack of exercise. Basically she suffered animal cruelty all her life. The wonderful girl who took her in for the rescue posted about her on Palomacy pleading for someone to adopt her. I came across her post. I am located in the Raleigh, NC area and I was able to adopt her. Gertrude didn’t know how to bathe or walk properly in the beginning since she was stuck in that tiny cage for all that time. Due to her wing fracture and how she was kept for all that time, she couldn’t fly. She became my little sidekick. I used to take her everywhere with me. On nature walks, car rides or for a stroll in town. I wish I had a lot more time to pamper her. I will always love her. She was a very special coo lady. I will always have her close to me. I had a wonderful glass artist make a necklace that has some of her ashes in the glass. «

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.
