duck :) she’s not perfect but I had fun making this. Trying to branch out a little from exclusively seagulls whilst talking about birds.
I don’t exactly think this suits my theme as much, as I’m trying to focus more on the grand movements of birds. Like them taking off and flapping their wings. The duck is much more still and peaceful. But I still enjoyed making it and mixing all the colours. I think it helped me narrow down the aspects of my theme I’m interested in.

This painting made me think of the Duck Stamp contest. A contest exclusive to America which revolves around appreciating wildlife. (Ducks)
This is the 2025 winning piece, a painting by Adam Grimm. The sorts of work they’re looking for in this competition is very very detailed and accurate to life. My painting on the other hand took me no more than an hour, but I think the composition are quite similar.
