This beautiful bird is perched on the bare branches of a tree. Its bright red and orange feathers stand out against the stark black background. The bird’s feathers glisten in the sun and look like they have been dusted with gold. I would start by coloring the tree branch a light brown and the bird's feathers a deep and vibrant red. I would then create a color gradient of orange tones starting at the base of the feathers and growing paler as they elongate up the wing. Then I would take black and white paint and mix them together to create various shades of gray to fill the background. Finally, I would add little pops of yellow and gold scattered around the bird and the background to capture the feeling of the sun’s warmth.
