In this framed watercolor painting, a vividly colored parrot is prominently featured against a white background, accompanied by an array of tropical flora. The wet on wet technique was used to create the flowers and leaves, a method where the paint is applied to a damp surface, allowing for a seamless blending of colors. This technique is particularly evident in the smooth transitions within the flowers and leaves. Subsequently, dry brush strokes were incorporated to add definition and texture to these botanical elements.

For the rendering of the parrot, a wet on dry technique was applied, where the paint is placed on a dry surface, facilitating sharp and clean lines, crucial for detailing the bird’s feathers. The feathers display a vibrant spectrum of colors, with reds, blues, and yellows being especially prominent, outlined with precision to convey the fine details and structure.

The painting was done using two types of brushes: a round brush for broader strokes and washes, and a thin tip brush for the meticulous details. The high quality of the watercolor paper, sized 30×50 cm, ensures the durability of the colors and the preservation of the fine details captured within this tropical scene.
