Pelicans on Rottnest Island

I like to keep it random in the studio, so how about this? Pelicans on Rottnest Island. These birds whilst they're kind of... Can I say, goofy looking? There's a certain grace to them at the same time. What I really loved here is the way they were reflecting in this crystal clear ocean. Here I was sharing with my students how to paint some watery effects and oils using both dry brushing and thick painting techniques. #landscapepainting #pelican #water #oceanpainting #traditionalart #artdaily #myart
