HUNGRY DUCKS

 
We've just spent a week in a log cabin in Surrey, England.  There was a pond on the site with several families of mallards who came every day to beg for food.  The tiny ducklings were so adorable but moved so quickly, following their mother, that I had to copy their markings from the photos I took to be able to colour my sketches!

  1. This is a beautiful page! And I'd never have guessed those were mallard ducklings, thank you!

  2. A week in a log cabin in Surrey. It sounds idyllic and inspiring. These are a beautiful page of sketches and studies. You were fortunate to see them daily

  3. Thanks Kate and Alissa, I really enjoyed trying to capture the ducks as they dashed about picking up crumbs and of course the resting drakes moved as soon as I picked up my pen. The page only came to life for me when I added the colours!
