Blue Heron Portrait

joha59 06 Aug 2025

After the egret (we call it a silver heron in NL) I also had to do the blue heron, acrylics background, taken from a photo made by myself, the color of the beak can change during the breeding season (red and the egret's beak turns black), but normally it's colored yellow, the upper part of the beak was ideal for the "let-the-paint-break-technique" and the palletknife, but the paint didn't break, so I had to put in some dark holes afterwards, on wallpaper of 29,7 x 21 cm (A4 format).

Good one Jos!
The blue herons are great!
And I love how we see more and more egrets in this country as well.
