Ferruginous Duck
Aythya nyroca
Gouache on Watercolour Board 1983
14 x 12 ins
private collection
A Photorealism Bird Painting of a Ferruginous Duck
seen from above. The dappled sunlight plays upon the water
and the Duck almost becomes camouflaged against the
ripples which it creates.
The Ferruginous Duck is an irregular autumn visitor to the
UK, the one depicted here being part of an ornamental
Waterfowl collection.
Photorealism Painting Technique:
The Gouache Paint is applied using Watercolour Wash
Technique in the lighter areas of the Picture to allow the
whiteness of the Watercolour Board to show through. In
the darker passages of this Artwork, the Paint is applied
in a more opaque way.
This Ferruginous Duck Painting is inspired by the Bird
Paintings of Australian Bird Painter / Artist Raymond
Harris Ching, a great influence on my Wildlife Art.
