| I worked on the wing. I started on the right side towards the middle. I used black, white, and aquamarine plus some canary yellow at the end. I layered the colors paying attention to the values. I added more white to the light parts as needed. I had to reshape areas and change some shapes which is usual in something like this. After getting the layering far along I used a stump to blend and soften and hard edges, sometimes I used white to lighten, soften, or blend. I worked across to the left and down on the feathers. I added sand, light umber, sienna brown, and indigo blue to the white, black, canary yellow and aquamarine. I worked on each feather shape layering the color and paying attention to the value. If the original road map was too dark I lightened it with white and added the color. Then I softened and blended with the stump (remember to clean it). After I was done with that section I moved up on the feathers. I am still working on the wing feathers. |
