Ducks In The Reeds by Richard Cooper

Like this a lot Richard - particularly like the expression of the duck on the right!

Thanks a lot Heather.

I agree with Heather, great expressions. Also like the way you’ve done the reeds.

The Reeds were the easy part. The "bending down" duck was a bit tricky. Didn't notice the expressions when I was sketching - but yes !!

Superb and I love the illustrative quality of this work!

Love it Richard and the additional background with the reeds, really sets it off.

Lovely illustration, Richard - great expressions on the ducks and the background with the coloured reeds ties it all together beautifully.

Thanks Nandhini, Linda and Jenny. I agree my work is becoming more illustrative.

You seem to know how to apply just the right amount of colour to bring a drawing to life and putting it in as a backing brings the ducks forward, they seem to jump out of the picture to join us.

How charming is this pair? Captured their expression spot on
