Pelican by Barbara Haviland | Barbara Haviland - Blog

The pelican is done on a gallery wrap canvas and was done with a knife. I have lots of textures with the paint. The sides complete the painting. It is available here. We are so lucky to have these lovely birds to watch where I live. The background is done with Ultramarine Blue,Cobalt Blue, and Cerulean Blue + white. I used blues and greys for the bird.
