The Three Wooers

[ColorEnthusiast]

Mostly Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches CP paper 30x40 cm, finished today.
When I saw this photo I had the impression of a fairy tale with three princes attempting to win a princess only with ducks.

Love it Esther, and your take on the 3 guys after the gal made me smile.

Lovely little gem. The shadows are great. Reminds me of spring fishing at the lake where there is always a fight over the lady.

Well painted!! Really good drawing and control over the medium and brush. Wonderful shadows, the edges are spot on. The princes seem to be pretending not to look.

I LOVE your watercolor technique. The subtle shadows are so excellently handled here. This is overall a stellar piece!

Beautiful painting, I love your story behind it! Lovely tones and shadows.

I like this so much, Esther! It looks as if she used a dating app and three suitors showed up instead of one. They seem a little confused!

A great piece!

Thank you so much for all your kind comments Margaret, Wayne, Patrick, Arty, Joe, Kay, Donna and Kay.

What a lovely painting!
Though I must say, the term "wooer" is a bit too positive for male ducks in mating season, they are basterds!

Beautiful Esther. You have such a lovely light touch. It's all gorgeous - the markings on the ducks, the light and shadows...so skillfully painted.

Thank you E.J.H. and Claudia.

Maybe I read too many children tales lately
