I love painting birds, because they vary so much in shape and color. I’m using Strathmore toned paper art journal with a colored pencil underpainting. Then, I just layer up the creamy oil pastels! It is so relaxing and helps my mind to be calm and centered. Art just does that. Creativity can be a very healthy mental exercise! VIDEO BELOW. I have over 1,500 videos on my channel!
You can also purchase this painting in an ornate frame as a digital clip art set here! Use the shopping drop-down menu to choose and it will take you to a secure payment checkout.

Start adding oil pastels! Adding in blocks of color helps you to see where to blend and shadow.
