Who Brought The Sunglasses?-Geese

Close ups

 Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jeanne supplied a bunch of great reference photos.

The reference photo was of a large group of geese. Wanted to get close, so I cut out most of the flock/gaggle and moved the one on the far right in closer to tighten the grouping.

Mostly all painting knife with a little help from the brushes in the tight spots.
I had a lot of fun playing with those "white colors".

I first covered the panel with white gesso, then applied thinned alizarin acrylic ....then painted the background using black gesso. I find that the alizarin provides a good mid value to judge added values against. And colors really "pop" against the black gesso. Hope some of that makes sense...Lol.

Gaggle Taking A Gander

Geese have a comical look oftentimes. These were really taking a gander at the photographer.
Bunny at Wet Canvas graciously supplied this image for the WDE. Thank you, Bunny.

I loved doing the geese. I tried to keep it painterly and lively in a creative way in the background.

Here is an ultra close up. It looks like a little fiery abstract waiting to happen. :)
