Beautifull bird Patricia,    Also you might want to darken the bottom wing , it should be under the middle one.

   Dennis for moving my submission. I had a feeling it may have been you.  Thanks so much for coming to my rescue.    Patricia

[Val]

Good job on your Tui Patricia. 

[Bellarina]

Awesome job on the Tui.  I'm also working on that lesson

[Happychappy]

    Val and Robin for your kind comments.  I was hesitant to post it but thought that as I had put the time into painting it, I would see what help I could get from all our wonderful members and tutor, although having lost most of my lines, it was difficult and my colours were incorrect. Anyway despite it all, I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.

A real nice challenge this Tui birdie.

[Danielle123]

well done Louisa,    just add a bit of dark under the wing to separate from the body. in the head soften the light close to the dark because it makes a dent in the face.   hope this helps.

[Louisa Rautenbach]

Thank you Danielle, will do that.

[Kathysutterlin]

KathyS,

Beautiful bird!  Great colors. Lovely tufted white crest - what do you call that?

Hope he doesn't topple over; he be stabbed by that pointed thing.

mea! I don't know what the feathers are called but they sure are an interesting feature of the bird.
Yikes,  I didn't  think about that innocent little plant looking like a spear but your right. It does. Eek! 

Good thing the birdie has a good grip on the branch.
