After looking at the clouds I decided that I would rather do a seagull instead of a hawk even though I will have to use some Chinese white to bring out the white markings on the bird.

I transferred the image of a seagull onto the paper and had enough time to paint the foot of the gull.
I will post this painting at a later date once more of the bird has been completed.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.
