Spectacled Eider WIP


The Spectacled Eider is a relatively lesser-known eider that lives in and around the Bering Sea, near the Arctic.  It also has its unique goggle-eyed patterning that makes it stand out in the waterfowl crowd.  This is an in-progress shot of my current gouache painting; the two birds in the foreground are mostly done, I only need to detail the bird in the background and touch up the water a little.
