A Bird Painting of a male Wood Duck painted with
Waterproof Drawing Inks.
The support for this Wood Duck Painting is an old piece
of brown corrugated cardboard given a couple of coats
of white household emulsion paint.
The Drawing Inks were painted a layer at a time
with a Sable Watercolour Brush starting with yellow,
then orange, then red and the darker colours on top.
The lighter areas are just the emulsion showing through,
and the overall effect is similar to that of a stained glass
window.
The Wood Duck depicted was a specimen from an Ornamental
Waterfowl Collection.
