Love the handling of the background on this one, and cheers on all the dailies, wonderful.
Beautiful painting, I love it.
Thank you Mona,
the young seagulls are very approchable, this one was a particularly nice harmony of browns and greys...
Hello Leah,
I'm glad you like it! Thank you!
C'est incroyable tout le détail que tu as mis dans ce "painting a day", incroyable!
Le plumage des jeunes goélands est bien plus complexe à peindre que celui des adultes qui est plus uni. J'avoue que j'ai passé pas mal plus de temps que sur les autres petites peintures, mais ça valait le coup.
Merci Carolina!
