RING-BILLED GULL STUDY

 


Lately I have noticed quite a few gull around so I went over to the adjacent park to do some sketches. This study came from some of the reference I gathered while I was there. Apart from the usual trees and grass in the park itself, a few large posts stand in the river just off from the waterfront and this is where most gulls like to rest. A nice and sunny day brought out wonderful colors within the shadows of the resting birds and I enjoyed trying to capture that plus the shape and form of the various birds there. Size of this one is 12 x 9 in (30 x 23cm). Watercolor on Grumbacher paper.
