I decided I needed a theme to see me to the end of this challenge. As you may have gathered, I do birds quite a lot and so decided on an Alphabet of Avians from Africa (sorry, just had to do that). I am going to explore different ways of painting them. Some of the colours may be similar, in which case I might post random letters together.
This first feathery friend is a fire-crested ALETHE, which I have to admit, I never knew existed before I started researching the birds I was going to do.
Colours used on the bird: Indian Red with a bit of Cad Orange to give it some oomph on the highlights and Indigo.
