Osprey

This was a 20 min challenge with Gouache on 6x6 gessoboard. the board had a failed WC painting, so I gessoed over and got a lovely smooshy green color so left it as BG. used a 3/4 flat and quickly painted the osprey with colors- FUB and BSfor the darks, white, a touch of BS and naples yellow for the eye.
