V1116 "Lift Off"  Painting the Harris's Hawk

Join David in the painting of this beautiful Harris's Hawk.  David will show you a new method "alla priima layer" as he goes in depth with the details in his head and wings.  For this lesson he slows down his pace and really teaches you about tone and temperature of the colors necessary for this outstanding subject.  One of the most difficult tasks as an artist is to paint tone on tone.  This is one reason why he chose this subject to introduce this technique to you. 

Working in temperatures, rather than values you can create an beautiful painting full or movement and life.  David will show you how to create these beautiful wing features with the fusion brushes while also showing you the correct method of edges and color application to achieve the depth and "misty tree" look in the background.  This is a fun painting for all levels of artists.
