You can personalize the background to look like a forest, or the sky, maybe you can put some autumn leaves around the canvas to give it a fall feel, or snow for a winter landscape. Perhaps you want to have him sitting in a tree on a large branch. You'll learn how to layer and blend the paint to create depth in the eye and texture in the feathers, which will provide a photo realistic quality allowing for the feathers and beak to have a 3d affect and to look like they are popping right out of the canvas. Let this amazing bird be the focal point and have a mysterious look as he fades into the shadows of the night. Let the colors be natural with vibrant hues using carefree paint strokes. The portrait of this feathered friend will come to life with the captivating look on his face that will draw you in.
