Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

I bought a new shade of pink paint and decided it would look good on a phoenix :d Yes, I have weird reasonings for buying/using art supplies.

This has some really awesome metallic gold and silver pigments on it, but sadly it gets lost in the scan.

man how do you draw on turkey feathers

~sentientmaster Sep 26, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Its brilliant, do you do anything to the feathers first before painting on them, ie, a wash of pva, marvelous

*windfalcon Mar 1, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Woops, I never replied to this! Yes, actually, PVA is exactly what I use

But I only use it to connect the two (or in this case, three) feathers together. I spray the feathers with fixative to help keep the vane from coming apart, but mostly it's just a thin layer of acrylic where my subject will be to act as a 'glue'.

I like the smoke!

~animepegasus Aug 15, 2012

The lighting makes it look like it can fly off of those feathers any moment

~Kintupsi Aug 10, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I like the illusion of depth created by your choice of colors.

The secondary light source is a nice touch.

*windfalcon Aug 10, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks! Sometimes I worry that I abuse the whole secondary light source (because I use it a lot in my feathers), but I really think it helps the figure pop.

~Kintupsi Aug 10, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, it certainly works!

Beautiful painting!! The fact it's on a feather just makes even more amazing ><
