I got quite a bit accomplished in this second phase of painting. The background is complete, but for a few highlights in green, which will have to be added once this layer is dried to avoid a murky brown blend.I'm quite pleased with how it is progressing - it's the first time I've nailed a painting in my first attempt. No canvases scrapped! I'm almost tempted to leave it as is, with a white silhouette of a supposed bird left up to interpretation. Or otherwise, I could blow up the photo of the Kookaburra and paste it in.
I'm afraid I might just ruin my work so far in Step Three.
