The white bird stands tall and proud atop a large rock in the middle of a tranquil lake. Its long neck curves elegantly and its webbed feet grip the surface of the stone firmly. Its large bill is outstretched and its wings are dappled with black tips.
To bring this image to life, I suggest starting with the bird in a light gray or beige. The bill and webbed feet should be colored a slightly darker shade. For the wings, use a blackish gray that gradually blends into the white of the bird's body. To complete the look, accentuate the edges of the wings with some black to give them definition. The rocky surface and the lake should be given some interesting color, like yellow ochre or a light blue tone. Finally, use dabs of light blue and hints of white to give the lake a peaceful and serene feel.
