Started to work more on darker feathers, a lot more of them to go before its even close to being finished. I really need to work on the right side, it looks too flat here so needs some shading.
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
I admire your tenacity on these - so many hours working the feathers!! Beautiful job and love the beak and eye.
