The Runner Duck

The Indian Runner duck is a domestic duck that is known for standing upright. This animal does not waddle -it runs. These traits make it especially unique. They only nest if they're trying to hatch eggs. They aren't known for flying. They are social, friendly animals and they are good pets. 

These ducks do not require water or a pond, but they do enjoy swimming. They are a forager and they will eat a variety of foods from insect larvae to foliage. 

I like these animals. I've wanted to paint them for a little while. I started working on this little, cheery doodle. This is not going to be the last Runner painting that I do. I want to do a portrait and I want to do a more realistic piece of art. But, I enjoy the bright colors of this digital painting. I used a mix of media: from digital pencil to digital watercolor. 

Do you have a favorite duck breed?
