Description
While doing some research for an upcoming project, I happened upon this little weirdo, the Stork-billed Kingfisher. I had wanted to try out cold press paper again, so I painted this bird.
The process reminded me why I use (and love) hot press paper, but it was also fun to pull out the gouache to save this painting. This little guy was surprisingly difficult to draw, since he doesn't even look very believable in photographs. I fudged the color on his neck to that he looks a little more unified, but the proportions are all correct.
Here's a link to more thoroughly weird photos: [link]
