Pied Avocet, Original Watercolour

I was so captured by the beautiful image of this little pied shag hunting for food. It's such a delicate bird and I loved rendering the still water and the faint ripples made by the bird. I was also challenged to capture as much realism as possible. Thank you to Basil Thornton for sharing his reference image with me.
