This is “Killer,” a green-winged macaw that resides at the National Aviary. This is my first proper attempt at using PanPastels on PastelMat. I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. It’s based on a photo I took at the National Aviary. You can buy prints of this piece HERE.

The original drawing was SOLD (donated to the National Aviary for the Wings and Wildlife Artshow and Benefit Auction).
