During a recent trip to South Carolina, we we able to get up close to a number of Brown Pelicans that were resting near a marina. It was a great opportunity to do a number of sketches and one or two small watercolor studies. After putting all this reference together, I did this slightly larger painting at home. Since I hadn't painted a pelican before, I decided on doing a juv first. The adult has a much more attractive plumage but still, I got a lot of enjoyment from painting this one. Size is 12" x 9", watercolor on Grumbacher paper.
