Greenshanks

28th September 2013 - Topsham


Some drawings for a change. After spending the last few weeks on detailed illustration work - the Black-capped Petrel and Cahow plate for the Tubenose Handbook - it's nice to be able to just please myself and draw and paint as loose and rough as I like. From the viewing platform by the Clyst I found a small group of winter-plumaged Greenshanks resting by the water's edge on the rising tide. One or two were scratching and preening, some wandered about feeding, most were just resting.




And a few mug shots with a touch of watercolour.
