A change of species.

That’s a strange looking cat

Sorry June I couldn’t resist!
I don’t know about you but doing feathers always take me out of my comfort zone!
In fact I’m trying to do a bird at the moment and yes it’s feathers are at that “ugly” stage right now.
Looking at this and some of your past birds I may have to rethink my approach…

Thats gorgeous June, the feathers and the vibrant colours really stand out.

Nice one! A great profile.

Thank you gentlemen.

Mark, just some of the things I do for feathers.
I use custom brushes - your Strait Hair and a selection from the Artistic brushes - mostly the Bristle Worn and sometimes Bristle 6 Blend. I also use the brushes on the eraser setting. However I think you use watercolour so maybe these brushes are not what would interest you?

PS Even the white feathers were painted with your brush - I just adjusted the Dab Jitter.

Thanks for the suggestions there June, appreciated
Looks like I have lots more experimenting to do!
