Day 9 of 28: "Swan Goose"

 

Day 9 of 28: "Swan Goose" (pastel, 8x6 inches) bid or buy

I had to make this neck slightly shorter than my reference photo in order to fit in an 8x6, and so I wanted to do some research to make sure it would still look right this way. I also wanted to find out if this was a goose or a swan. Well, guess what? It's a Swan Goose! No wonder it kinda looks like a swan and a goose. I also found out that the neck is fine at this length. I guess sometimes they stretch it up more.

Enjoy this quick speed video!

Day 24 - Swan

Day 24 of my 30 Paintings in 30 Days of November!

This swan was grooming herself by the edge of a path, on a zoo visit last year. Burst mode on a camera comes in very handy! I was able to catch a lovely swan s-pose!

Thanks for watching! Please share!
