Inktober 2026 - Day 05

I saw my first loon this summer which was super exciting.  There are such big birds.

As a photographer I did not get a great shot of it.  I did see them about 3 times.  Late August they were gone!

I took quite a few layers to get the black dark.  I used black gouache.

Painting around the dots on the back is a bit tricky and probably should have used white gouache.

Canson Fluid Mixed Media 154lb paper is a great choice.

I messed up the first one I did in ink by not being patient enough to erase my pencil lines. So I traced this one with Sharpie marker.
