PENCIL & INK WILDLIFE SKETCH #1

This sketch is practice for a mural I got commissioned for a garden wall in Bradford on Avon. I'm so excited by this piece.

The bird is a Cattle Egret. These Herons are so dynamic and beautiful.

I'm going to sketch several of these until the client loves what's going on her garden wall.

Murals are a joy for me because I love painting on huge canvases.

The client is an excellent photographer, so this sketch comes from one of her photos. If you want to check out her work, go to beckyinportugal.com and you can see the original reference photo.

There is something so ancient about Herons. This gorgeous Egret portrays that primordial wisdom of patience.

A patience that waits for fish to come close, before snatching them and flying high.

If you enjoyed this video, you'll love Moonbeam Chronicles.

It's a golden ticket to my life behind the scenes.
