Rubber Ducky


This is not a rubber ducky.

It is meant to be a gull, floating merrily on a body of water, minding its own business. It’s another quick watercolour scribble that I had fun creating… it was only afterwards that I thought it looked like a rubber ducky. I added the eyes afterwards as well; they didn’t look as boggly before.

Now, I’m not saying I’m available to touch up any weathered classical pieces of artwork that may or may not be lying around, but as this painting shows, I am willing to try anything once!

*And seriously, I’m NOT available to touch up any weathered classical pieces of artwork, no matter how much you are willing to offer.

**And I’ve never owned a rubber ducky.

    So cute. Looks more like a duck than a seagull.

          It’s a gull being a gull. In no way is it a duck. I knew I should’ve taken the photo with the light on.

    You could try pencil sketches first Tom to get some idea of the subject. πŸ™‚ ❀

    It is fun to create something new! πŸ™‚ ❀

    Blessed Be! πŸ™‚ ❀

      I usually do a quick pencil sketch, Prenin, but with this and the previous tree I just painted. A case of in for a penny in for a pound I suppose! πŸ™‚

    I’ve never owned a rubber ducky, either; but I have two rubber chickens. Does that count? πŸ˜‰

      I would say so, Diane. Even more so if they look anything like my gull.
