Blue Jay in Acrylic

A challenge painting.

Blue Jay

Done to test luminosity of feathers, different background options, etc.


I painted a dark blue background and then transferred the image using white charcoal on the back of a printout from the computer.

Next was blocking in the white and black areas to compare value contrast. I wanted a different background but when my test failed I opted for masking the bird and then stamping the background with white paint, applied with a bunched up piece of Kleenex. It left tiny pieces of paper behind and looks like homemade paper.

None of the details are correct at this stage.
