Created for a demonstration of Painter materials: chalk variants. The image uses square chalks, sharp chalks, blenders, and a chalk variant of a variant originally created by Don Seegmiller. The vibrancy of the macaw's colors were really a pleasure to work on. I truly love the interaction between Painter's chalks and the surface I chose for it. The really cool thing is that when you get in really close on this, it really looks like there is a dry, powdery medium on a paper with a canvas like texture. A quicktime movie of the painting saved in stages is here/ Thank you for looking.
