A plump duck with a cream-colored head and neck turns to display its striking black wing feathers rendered with delicate hatching against a soft green ground. The bird's orange bill and bright red feet are rendered in bold, warm tones that ground the composition with graphic vitality and charm. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
