A few months ago, I found a heron in a marsh off of Misery Bay, and wanted to paint him. I used sgraffito technique for the grass, and wanted to experiment with getting a sense of light on the water.
This was painted using my typical palette of ultramarine, yellow ochre, yellow hansa, burnt umber, burnt sienna and sap green, along with titanium white.

Beautiful.
