I have been working on the details of the mallard duckling today. I kept the beak low key, with only a few brush strokes to indicate the nostril and hard edges. I have started putting in the eye and beginning of the duck down brush strokes. I tried using a fan brush, but it was not working at ALL, so I switched to a small round, and it is going better. Note to self: fine detail requires a smoother canvas...switch to gessoed board? I am pleased with how things are coming out, and unsure how to finish off the background. Same old story....
