Little Terns ar Rye Harbour-two weeks ago

a day spend at Rye Harbour a few weeks ago resulted in quite a bit of birdlife to draw. Avocets were on all the pools, complete with many chicks. There were Mediterranean and Black-headed Gulls, Common and Sandwich terns and best of all a few Little Terns, successflully breeding in a more secure area than usual. The drawings/paintings I've done since then are too numerous to include them all, so here are a few of my favourites

a Little Tern on it's nest

two LT's in flight over the sea


a 'pod' of Terns in flight

and finally all these plus one extra on the cereal packet they were drawn on! all these paintings were done entirely in acrylic. with water mixed in heavily with the blue to dilute it.
