The Mating Game 3

If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus

Today I worked solely on the swan on the left. This is the one in this little scenario who is not happy with what's going on between the other two. He wants to be the one that attracts the lady swan in the front but he's waited too long ~ the other one is making his move. I've started doing some of the shading and blending but there's a long way to go to get him three dimensional. The problem with painting something white is that its difficult to give it form ~ a good exercise I learned in school when I first started studying painting was how to paint an egg on a white canvas. Give it a try.
