How to paint colourful birds: VLOG
Bring your Bird Shadow Box to life with this vibrant bird painting technique! Layering four colors and blending lights with darks creates a bright, ombre effect that makes your bird really pop.
WHY USE THIS TECHNIQUE?
Layered colors and smooth blending give your bird dimension and vibrancy—perfect for making it the star of your shadow box.
PRO TIPS FOR ACHIEVING WOW RESULTS:
• Start with white as your base to make the colors stand out
• Blend two darker shades with white in between to create a smooth ombre
• Use brighter colors on the top of the bird and darker shades under the wings for natural shadow
• Keep your brush wet and add more paint as needed to make blending easier
