Description

The Inca Hummingbirds are some of the rarest hummingbirds in the world. I chose to portray a white collared hummingbird after reading an article about them.

According to Wikipedia: The collared inca (Coeligena torquata) is a species of hummingbird found in humid Andean forests from western Venezuela, through Colombia and Ecuador, to Peru and Bolivia. It is very distinctive and unique in having a white chest-patch and white on the tail. Like other hummingbirds it takes energy from flower nectar (especially from bromeliads), while the plant benefits from the symbiotic relationship by being pollinated. Its protein source is small arthropods such as insects. It is normally solitary and can be found at varying heights above the ground, often in the open.

Due to it's fondness of Bromeliads, I also chose to paint a flowering bromeliad in the background of this watercolor pencil on canvas board painting. This was an experiment on this canvas board surface which proved to be very effective at producing vibrant and bright colors as the canvas board will not absorb the paint or water like watercolor bond as I generally use.

This is a small 8x10 painting and is available for sale. If you are interested in the original, please email me.
