Duck stamp

I named this project 2 trumpeter. The meaning of this art is to draw ducks to enter the duck stamp competition. The subject is about two trumpeter swans swimming in the lake and slowing looking at the sunset background. I am more focused on the beak, because it is the most outstanding feature about these duck. For materials, I used Pencil to sketch, color pencil for the coloring and a pen for the eyes.

I used a variety of techniques and methods including: contrast and balance. While creating this work, I paid close attention make the beak and the sunset more real. So I researched and think about the sunsets in Maine and just let my hand do the magic.

To add interest to my composition, I used balance, color blocking... I like the way the orange red and the water mixed with brown and green, makes it look like a Japanese bird style painting. After all, I really like it, it might be a little rushed, but it turns out looking fine.
