I was trembling in my boots when a lady I know asked me to paint a white duck for her. Painting white feathers onto white paper in watercolour means you simply have to use some colour! But which one(s)?I took a while to paint this as I was very nervous about each wash as I layered it on. I feel excited about the result and realise that I just have to be brave and put very dark paint in the shadow areas to make the white “pop”.
