January 30 x 30 Challenge #25 Going Walking

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # Going Walking

I took a lot of geese and ducks photos... Luckily many were taken with my Canon G11 so I have good  HD raw files to work with for cropping and then blurring..First I crop the image to the size of the format. Then sometimes I make another letter to blur to see the main areas. Then sometimes I have to move stuff like the goose on the right was moved in closer.  This is a cropped version of three geese probably running away from me at the time.  I find the geese so human like with their expressions.  This was done with a sketch which I brush down with liquin then I sketched dry. See progress image...

20 x 20 Heavy brown paper. Neocolor I wax pastels with pencils and medium.


Finished  


Preliminary sketch before medium

I wanted to scan after the medium was applied and dried... oops forgot!!!
