In this episode I go about blocking in the basic composition, colours and tones of a Scarlet Macaw. Be sure to check out the next three videos to see this painting progress to a finish.
I'm using Liquitex Acrylics on very rough cotton rag watercolour paper.
The same basic principles and approach can be used just as easily with oil paints.
