The finished painting of the parrot.

Tweet

So, tonight after EastEnders I went back into the dining room and put all my painting equipment out again to continue the painting of the parrot. I painted over a few black areas that had accidentally been painted on, and then I did the blue areas on the head, on the top of the outstretched wing and on the side of the other wing. Then I also used the same blue on some of the tail areas that can be seen below the branch the parrot is perching on. The blue I used was cerulean. I then added some black shadows on some of the feathers, and accentuated others. I added darker colours here and there where they were needed, like around the edge of the head where it meets the grey face area and down on the blue of the wing on the right. I also added a streak of white on that wing too. I added more orange to the birds front where the red shadow is, and added more red where it looked too washy. I added more shadow below the branch and on the blue of the tail coming down from behind the branch. I used a fine liner pen to draw in the wrinkles on the birds face because I knew I wouldn't be able to do that with paint and a paint brush. I I painted in the branch and when that was dry I painted in the birds talons. I added what are probably lights in the sky to the background. Then I did a bit of touching up here and there and then I called it finished. I signed it at the bottom with a white gel pen. I hope you are all well and I hope you all have a great night.
