The Brown Pelican

The Brown Pelican
cfile, Mar 8, 2014
Description:

This was a slide photo my father took of the Brown Pelican. Dad always would say when we saw a pelican, "The Pelican is a funny bird. It's beak holds more than it's belly can!". I did this page in tribute to Dad, and just because I wanted to play some more with watercolor techniques. I used the Watercolor tutorial that Farrah Jobling wrote for the MOC 2014 found here: https://the-lilypad.com/forums/showthread.php/30509-Photo-Technique-(watercolor)
