Mallards – Work in Progress

Mallards in Progress, ~ 9″ x 22″, watercolor wash on board, ©Rebecca Latham

This is a new work in progress that I have on the easel, shown here after the watercolor underpainting has been washed in.  I wanted to work in an unusual size for a while and had been looking for an excuse to design one.  The mallard trio I placed in this piece gave a lovely setting, with complex water trails leading the eye through the painting in abstract designs.   ..and the perfect opportunity.
