In this tutorial I'll show how to paint a realistic bird and feathers with one brush. A perfect beginner acrylic painting tutorial. The one brush challenge is a great way of improving our brush technique which means we can get the most out of the brushes we have. Using correct brush technique from how much pressure to apply, how to hold the brush even down to how we load the acrylic paint onto the brush will effect the type of brush stroke created. This really shows that when using good technique we don't need to be using a range of brush shapes in a variety of sizes. I was able to get fine details with this same brush just by adjusting how I used it. This was a really fun project and would be ideal for any artist new to acrylic painting =).
