Wood Duck - Work in Progress, Step 6

It is hard to believe that it is already November (where did the year go??).

I am working on the details on the duck now and it is really starting to look pretty good.  The back has a combination of Daniel Smith (DS) Mayan Blue, DS Indigo Blue, DS Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and DS Sepia (with a small amount of DS Chinese White to recover a couple little areas of white).  Soon I will start work on the water and sky... not going to put in too much detail here, but just enough to add to the atmosphere of the painting.
