Snow Goose Study II

I love sketching birds. They are so complicated, but I love drawing the way the feathers overlap and the interesting shapes of their bills and feet. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has such amazing displays. These birds are somehow suspended to look like they are flying, but it is impossible to see the wires holding them up. I have only drawn these birds, but I want to paint them. They are so graceful.
