So easy to forget to paint for fun. This was the underpainting this eve for little reedfringed Suffolky shorepool with waders but after half an hour of smearing it about, in go the wolves hunting wildboar in the snow.
Turnstones, beachcombing - ink, watercolour and gouache on Arches Not paper #waders #shorebirds #birdart #wildlifeart #birds
Little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) and Common redshank (Tringa totanus)
I'm glad I can watch both of these species near home. Ringed plover often nests at coal mine ponds and redshank rarely nests in wetlands.

@vespgenerate ‘s Zenith and Null. I made the lineart before the most recent redesign so thats why she doesn’t have the raiden chin and the more detailed waders.
this was partially inspired by vinnie . sasha's doc marten waders because hes goth AND a fisherman
Sanderling studies - experimenting with different colours, warm/cool blues and yellows. Surprising what different atmospheres are created just by swapping the colour temperatures #Watercolour #watercolor #waders #birdart #wildlifeart
Early arctic migrants ↔️ NO breeding success! A photographer read the metal ring code of this Curlew sand in Ukraine. It's still early to head south, and cover the last 5.8 k km to reach the #Bijagós.

Sanderlings feeding as the tide comes in - this was back in the winter, they’ll be heading off soon to their Arctic breeding grounds. Good luck! #birds #waders #shorebirds #sketch #birdart

Knots and a redshank - they run excitedly into the sea, then run just as fast back out again! #waders #shorebirds #birds #sketch #birdart
