Egret

Fine work Ian, Looks very real. It's amazing how refections are really quite simple in life, but very hard to make look real. You've done well here tough. Top marks Mate.

Very well done. I thought it was a photo at first glance, it is really realistic.

fantastic minimal use of colours Ian, I like to limit my colours it usually turns out more dynamic looking, lovely smooth water. Dom

The Little egret is a recent coloniser of the South of England but is rapidly spreading north. I can be seen around the creeks in Cornwall and is in stark contrast to the dark mud banks. This was painted for a demonstration to the RSPB and what I like about it is that I only used one colour â€“ Ultramarine â€“ plus black and white, I like the surreal quality of the water, and it looks like this.
