Like all of my paintings, this artwork gets to exist thanks to my supporters on Patreon! If you’ve been enjoying my work, please consider paying for it with a small monthly contribution that supports my living and lets me do new, exciting things with my artwork.
This 10” x 20” oil painting was the culmination of a lot of techniques and process I've been developing over the past few years; the way I prep my surface to create texture, the way I mix colors, the way I use opaques vs transparent hues and in which order. In many ways it was me going out on a limb and bouncing up and down a few times to see if it would hold the weight of what I understood thus far, and it didn't disappoint!
I hope you enjoy it as well-- while simple in concept, it's one of my more detailed oil pieces in terms of fine rendering, given all of those carefully arranged feathers.
There are luster prints and playmats of this painting up in the store, and the original painting itself is still available as well!
