Why? I picked this bird because I really liked how the colors popped on the head. I could also use a lot of black to make the colors pop more, which I wanted. I really wanted bright colors to without having to do a lot of blending, it would just all be there.

Problems One of my few problems was the black kept on bleeding out even when it was dry because it was just a thick paint. I solved it by using a smaller brush to fill things in and a permanent maker around the edges. The second problem I had was on my beak the color had gotten to dark so I put a lot of water on it hoping the paint would just come off, but the paper went with the paint, so it made a lot of pieces everywhere! I solved it by waiting for the paper to dry and taking a piece of tape and peeling it off like a wax or something.

Feelings on results I like my painting, but I wish I had been able to make it more detailed by waiting longer for it to dry. I would’ve liked to have to brighter and more vibrant.
