In this comprehensive tutorial, you'll learn step-by-step how to create a stunning and lifelike beak of a blue Macaw. The principles I cover in this tutorial will empower you to paint realistic beaks for all birds. I will show you my techniques and insights I use to capture the texture, both rough and smooth, colours and contrast of the beak.

What you'll get:

• 2 hours of detailed instruction from start to finish of the beak
• I will share my step-by-step process of creating a realistic beak in a straight forward and easy to follow approach
•  I will demonstrate how to paint the sooth curved surface, the rough jagged/flaking fibres, the waxy appearance of the beaks surface and  the detail of scratches
• I will share the thoughts behind the layering process, compare it to how I work with oil paint, and make painting any beak a straight forward process.
• I will show you how to bring in additional vibrant colours that will make the painting more beautiful than the reference.

By the end of the tutorial, you will have the techniques and knowledge necessary to paint any beak realistically and with ease.
