GEESE #1

GEESE #2
This one wasn't working because the masking had left the white areas of the paper roughened. I'm not sure if masking fluid has an expiry time limit or not. Does anyone know???

GEESE # 3
Been working on this one, on and off,  for the past two days. I've reached the point where some background should be placed. One idea would be to do a very thin wash around the geese, with an irregular [hopefully interesting] top-line. The color would be a light greyed brown; then I would add some lines and shapes, indicating grass at the side of the path. But it's getting late, and I have to be in the office tomorrow, so best to leave this till Saturday ...

Good, but ...

A ground shadow has been added. I have also darkened the geese with washes of a grey mixture. But they just do not stand out enough. The babies are fine, but the adults ... ??? They really need a darker background, and I am not keen to do that - I would loose the glowing effect on the right, and I honestly don't know if I could get a reasonably smooth look.  So ... BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!

As always, your comments are most welcome!
