Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!!

In this tutorial, we’re painting two chickadees I’ve named Chick and Dee, (thank you Sandy) perched together on a winter branch.

I’m focusing less on perfection here. Chickadees are simple in shape, but the challenge is keeping them soft without flattening them.

I start by blocking in light values first, even in areas that will eventually be dark.

The branch is painted simply and quickly, just enough to ground them without pulling attention away. And for the background, I keep it muted and wintry so the birds stay the stars of the painting.
