A vibrant watercolor illustration depicts a female cardinal bird perched on a thin brown tree branch. The cardinal's distinctive reddish-pink feathers are rendered in delicate brushstrokes, with a grey wing and a coral-colored crest. The bird's black facial mask and orange-red conical beak are precisely detailed. Soft washes of watercolor create subtle background foliage in muted greens and browns, with gentle color bleeds and transparent layering typical of watercolor techniques. Traditional watercolor illustration with visible brushstrokes and transparent paint layers on textured paper.
