Snowy Egret Portrait in Profile

oil on canvas, 12" x 12"

This is the second in a series of bird portraits I've had in mind to do, the first being Flamingo Portrait in Profile, which I posted to this blog on January 14 of this year.  For this portrait, I was experimenting with a tool I recently purchased, called a brayer, which I will hopefully learn how to use with more skill in an upcoming workshop with a fantastic painter, Lindsey Kustusch.  A brayer is a rubber roller typically used for printmaking and to achieve decorative effects on surfaces.
