This is a half-sheet watercolour on Waterford NOT composed
from an arrangement of the Yellow Eyed Penguin sketches. After the initial
pencil drawing I dampened the paper and laid a light background wash.
As the work developed it became a study in the attitudes
adopted by the birds as indicators of their behaviour. One had a fish in it’s
beak another was preening and the others seemed to be alert. More detail work
needs to be done on the heads and I have to work out how to exploit changes in
tone on the water surface to unify the composition.
