Walking in the sand, we watched snowy egrets plucking up their impossibly skinny legs to stalk through the incoming tide. My poemsketches are generally done very quickly. Written in less than 5 minutes and drawn/painted in the same. If I screw up the drawing, oh well. But I will say this was about my 7th attempt to draw the egret. I just couldn’t get the body shape anywhere near correct. Still not great, but when I switched to a skinny pen, it did capture more of the bird’s grace and made it easier to ignore the lack of accuracy!
