Drake. Which bird will be next?

I cann’t say anything interesting, I do not even have associations. Usual poultry, edible, carries eggs. Do you know anything interesting about them?

I use the watercolor "Nevskaya Palitra": ultramarine, emerald, cadmium yellow medium, scarlet, neutral black, sepia, white zinc. Paper Palazzo 280g / m2, 70% cotton.

I begin the sketch from the silhouette, I gradually specify the shape of the bird. Then I turn to watercolors.

I blend the ultramarine with water and pouring out the silhouette. For the beak I use cadmium yellow, for the head and neck emerald and sepia, for the chest sepia and a little scarlet. I draw wings with sepia. All the paint I put on wet paper, so that it spreads out a little and mixes with each other. When all the basic colors are distributed - I add salt to the picture. I take a hairdryer and turn to the details.

I add black eyes and nostrils on the beak. For the paws, I use a mixture of scarlet and yellow, add sepia to the shade. And to finish the work I take the white and add glare to the eye and the bird's chest. I'm signing the work, It’s ready!
