Geese and Ducks in Moonlight


“Geese and Ducks in Moonlight” [25th/28th June 2022] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with H, HB, 4B, 8B and charcoal (h) pencils, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 3297 x 2807 pixels.

“Geese and Ducks in Moonlight” took me thirty-five minutes from start to finish.

First drawing session within ten minutes for the water on the 25th. Second session for the geese and ducks with a few adjustments to the water in twenty-five minutes.

Here is my photograph providing the inspiration for this drawing:

“Geese and Ducks in Moonlight – Photograph” [21st June 2022] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist.

As you can see, I made artistic choices with the geese I chose to draw. For the purpose of imagination, I entitled this ‘geese and ducks’ for the viewer to decide the waterfowl they envisage in the sketch.

I feel this artwork strongly resonates peace and calm.

Hope you enjoy this.
