Three Ibis


I sold another bird painting and I have to replace it at the art center.  So this was a quick painting.  I covered the canvas with white and added stripes of pale color.  After the paint had dried I drew the ibis and painted the sunlit top with white with a little yellow.  The shaded side of the bird was painted with grey with blue and orange highlights, just dark enough to look like white in shadow.
