Duck Stamp

The idea that ducks are important too is shown in my artwork. This piece is of two harlequin ducks in the ocean. The project relates to my life because I really liked these ducks. They have a very cool color scheme to them that really catches your eye. They are colorful but not too colorful.

This work was made by sketching out everything in a 6h pencil and then I then painted everything in the background with the to four layers of acrylic paint and when that was done, I went to the foreground and I then shaded everything with acrylic paint.

My process stayed the same throughout my piece the main thing that I used was adding a lot of layers to create a steady and even background as well as the foreground. I used color and emphasis to bring out the points in the piece. I used line to show some of the waves in the background and the grooves in the rock. My next steps could be adding more green and brown to the rock to make it look more like a rock rather than water.
