Welcome to Scribble Picnic's 'Bird' theme! I went with a black swan, on an index card sized paper (3" x 5"). I used my brush markers with a bit of white acrylic.
I love swans and the black ones are truly a special bird, don't see them often. Native to Australia, they were also taken to countries such as England in the 1800's - now all swans are 'owned' by Her Majesty the Queen and they are counted each July - interesting!
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a black swan before and had no idea they had red beaks as such. You;ve captured it perfectly. What a great addition to our bird collection. Thank you.
Oh Christine! I suffer from swan love (that's not a real thing, but I do love swans!) but I've never seen a black one in person. I love how you've done this. So pretty!
A lovely black swan for the theme, Christine! It reminded me of the black swans and their cygnets that I saw a while ago at a suburban lake. It was such a treat! :)
The black swan is fabulous! Hugs, Valerie
