Blue Feathers

We found a clump of goose feathers down by the water and I had fun sketching them in blue ink. I think I drew them more stylized because I was using the blue, which isn’t at all realistic.

I have followed your blog for several years now, always enjoy your work, these are great, and you have such neat hand writing.
With such detail I always wonder how long these drawings take you to complete???

Thanks for sharing your work with me.

  Hi Greg, thanks for your comment. As for the time it takes to complete a drawing, these particular ones were very quick, maybe about 20 minutes and then another 10 minutes to do the watercolor. But sometimes I do a drawing in segments, about an hour here and there over the course of a week. Then I add the date for when I am actually done with it, unless it is something I did outdoors and then I finish it on the spot. I hope that helps! Thanks for visiting.
