Gull Alert

6x9 watercolor done on 70 lb paper in sketchbook towards the end of August while on a trip (ref courtesy another artist) using White Nights paints. I cropped out most of the other parts of the photo to focus on the seagull close up. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Gull Beach

5x8 watercolor on Fabriano 140 lb hot press paper done last week as part of an online WetCanvas challenge. Love the waves, foam, beach sand and the lone gull flying above it all. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Pelican Splash

6x6 watercolor using White Nights paints done week before last, before our art show began. Using some of my pelican photos painting this fellow was fun. I used a #1 rigger for most of the bird that is done in Masters Touch sketchbook 80 lb paper. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Gull Glare

6x8 watercolor and Brusho on Fluid 100 hot press 140 lb paper done first of the month; ref courtesy WetCanvas artist host. I enjoyed the gull who seemed to be glaring at something in its environment. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Sweetheart Seagull

5x7 mixed media collage on paper begun on Valentine's Day Friday then finished today.  I used the inside of my sweetheart's card envelope which was brown to sketch the gull in ink with Micron 01 pen.  Then collaged white paper for its head.  Oil pastels, gouache and watercolor were other media used.  The gull was then adhered to matboard with matte medium a brayer to smooth out air pockets.

Cheeky Gull

15x11 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Canson paper that is today's work.  Going through my many bird photos this popped up, a rather cheeky guy about to steal the sandwich from my hand.  Forever the foragers, these seagulls never cease to amaze me with their loud raucous cries and bravado.
