Hooded Merganser Reference Cast
Towards the end of last duck season I shot a very nice Hooded Merganser drake. I made made an alginate mold, and poured plaster. The result was a finely detailed, beautiful cast.
Harlequin Duck (Unused)
I started this painting of a drake Harlequin Duck that I abandoned because it wasn’t coming together as I had hoped. I still like the ducks gesture, and maybe one day I’ll give it another go.
