Drake. Which bird will be next?

I cann’t say anything interesting, I do not even have associations. Usual poultry, edible, carries eggs. Do you know anything interesting about them?

I use the watercolor "Nevskaya Palitra": ultramarine, emerald, cadmium yellow medium, scarlet, neutral black, sepia, white zinc. Paper Palazzo 280g / m2, 70% cotton.

I begin the sketch from the silhouette, I gradually specify the shape of the bird. Then I turn to watercolors.

I blend the ultramarine with water and pouring out the silhouette. For the beak I use cadmium yellow, for the head and neck emerald and sepia, for the chest sepia and a little scarlet. I draw wings with sepia. All the paint I put on wet paper, so that it spreads out a little and mixes with each other. When all the basic colors are distributed - I add salt to the picture. I take a hairdryer and turn to the details.

I add black eyes and nostrils on the beak. For the paws, I use a mixture of scarlet and yellow, add sepia to the shade. And to finish the work I take the white and add glare to the eye and the bird's chest. I'm signing the work, It’s ready!

P.S. It is hard to write in English, because my native language is Russian. But I'm learning. If you notice serious errors in the text that interfere with the correct perception, please let me know about them.
