Sharp-winged Teal

sharp-winged teal pen and watercolour sketches

It’s a change to draw a duck that doesn’t need an an animated bill like the cartoon characters that I’ve been drawing recently, although as I drew I was listening to the great Yorkshire accent of one of the customers at the cafe who was giving a blow-by-blow account of his team’s weekend football match and thinking that he’d be perfect for one of my ducks.
