Glossy Ibis, 11x14 oil on panel
This glossy ibis had a lot of color in the areas that were lit up by the sunlight. I noticed the calm, still stance of the bird. I like to focus on details, especially around the face and eyes, and to surround the focal point with soft areas of color. Birds are a good subject to work with here in Florida because there are so many large birds such as herons, ibis, wood storks, and sandhill cranes, and there are many opportunities to sketch and take photographs while they are fishing or just standing still for a few moments.
