It is possible to paint in the dark. Once when we were camping in Delta we would return to the familiar places that were nice and filled with nature and the kerosene lanterns are always put to good use. If you're very quiet and move in a non-threatening manner the animals, especially birds will behave naturally and sometimes visit you but still display their wildness and daily routine. When I painted this one the birds were preparing for sleep and the colony were all safely at their nests with the artificial light reflecting off their plumage.
