Peacock Feather PDF

Description

Peacock feathers are stunning, particularly when you study and work on them in fine detail. I will of course guide you through this process in small, manageable steps.

This is a feather from a Peacock, the male of a species technically called peafowl. The brightly coloured feathers are used in displays to attract peahens, who have a tendency to ignore them! Their tail feathers on the other hand are much shorter and brown.

This shorter tutorial gives opportunity for practising quite a few skills. I have classed this as a project suitable for a beginner. You can of course add as much or as little detail as you want and thereby change the complexity of the painting.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this feather in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 22-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
