Duck Nessby *Simanion

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Abstract

Medium: Acrylic, watercolour and ink on paper.
Size: A5

Oh hello. Duck Ness. Named so because the silhouette, which started as a duck (doesn't everything?) reminded me of the Loch Ness monster. And it also has a good amount of duckness.

This started as one of my many (failed) recent returns to abstract painting. I wanted to get a really rough and scratchy but also soft and painterly surface happening, with visible brushstrokes and subtle colours. I reworked it so many times, I think I really murdered my paint brush.

The darker black was actually stencilled on, with the details being drawn afterwards. I really like this contrast of rough stencilling and (semi) cautious penwork. I may do more of that.

Anyway, hope you like it!

Whoa, it's awesome *_* . I love all the details you made! Some parts of the pattern make me think about stained glass. I really like the contrast between the ducks and the background, which itself is nice, too - the texture and the hues that it has~ (blue, purple and green are my favourite colours ^^)
Oh, and great title! ;D
