Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Black-faced Antbird', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. Antbirds are small to medium-sized birds of the South American rainforest and tropical forests that extend up into the surrounding mountains and landscape. They tend to stick low to the ground, moving in and out of the leaves and shadows and along the ground, where light levels are low. I had the good fortune of seeing this handsome, secretive fellow while visiting Wildsumaco preserve, which lies on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Ecuador, above the Amazon. He was singing while moving through the ground cover. I chose to use a warmer palette for the background colors, along with impressions of many layers of leaves.
