Description
A present for my grandmother. Her favorite animal is the swan, so I thought she'd love a painting of one.

This probably isn't the final version since it's still rather messy, but I feel like I haven't done anything for ages besides rework older pieces, so here's some proof that that's just not true!

I was a bit worried about doing feather texture, since I'm not so great at hand-painting them in and overlaying the right photo textures would take forever, but then I realized that swans are so darn soft that just hinting at the feathers would probably work.
