In these last days I watched many ducks in a beautiful park in my city and I couldn't resist to paint a duck, even if an "unusual" duck in my style ^_^
Ducks intrigued me so much since I visited the Hyde Park in London a couple of years ago, where I watched some fantastic kinds of ducks that I've never seen before. Since that moment, every time I discovered a place where ducks live (like the little river close to my home or a park in my city where is a little lake) I call that place "My personal Hyde Park" ^_^
I really love to watch the ducks swimming, eating, playing or taking care of their little ones and I love to observe their shades of colors, different from kind to kind, but always interesting! They are so beautiful that sometimes I think their beauty is really impossible to represent in a painting, but I can represent my joy to watch them with my brushes and my oil colors! ^_^
Today I worked on this funny blue duck:
It's an oil painting on 200 gr paper A4 size and I have to say to work on this painting was very relaxing for me. Before to start it, I watched again the pics that I took yesterday and I thought about the many different kinds of ducks that I watched in the lake: very big ducks, colored ducks, white ducks, long necks and strange beacks! Wonderful!
As usual, I took some pics of the process too. I started from a simple and fast sketch made with a pencil. At first, I thought to paint also a couple of tufts on his head, but I changed this idea during the work ^_^
After the sketch, I started do add some coats of light blue on the background and I made the campiture (I add the colors in every area without shadows or lights).
After the campiture, I started to work on the shadows, the lights and every details ^_^
I hope you like it ^_^

Ducks say quack also here!!! :D You have to know that here in Italy the ducks say "quack" thanks the old comics like Mickey Mouse that teached to us that ducks say quack. About the little ones of the ducks, in Italy they say "pio pio" :D Another example: here the chickens say "coccodè", but I don't know in English ^_^

We say our chickens cluck, but they make various noises. I know different cultures have different ideas on what animals say.

Love it, the shadows and highlights are always the genius bit for me and I love seeing it before they are added.
C'mon the ducks!

To add shadow and highlights was the first thing Paolo teached me when I start to paint and it was strange, because since that moment I start to watch everything thinking at first about shadows and highlights ^_^

It's the secret that lots of people who don't draw or paint don't get. It makes such a huge difference!
