Description Wow! I finally finished my Mandarin Duck.

This took me quite a while with breaks..
I was giving up on it a couple of times, but then finished it
I know that it's not perfect and I can see the mistakes I made, but I still like it a lot!

Watercolours, based on a pencil sketch based on a reference picture..

size: slightly larger than A4

Comments are very welcome, criticism too!

Binnus In reply to PatGoltz [2007-06-17 05:53:44 +0000 UTC]

I used to be bad with watercolors but practice and using separate piecess of paper for testing colors and thickness helps
Thank you!

Very cool! I love the texture on the wings...the canvas through the paint really looks like it was meant to be part of the feather texture. Great job!

Binnus In reply to satinnee [2007-05-30 09:49:43 +0000 UTC]

I don't know about the neck, I quite like that bit.. maybe there is something wrong..
I myself don't like the legs.
