FLAMINGO FEATHER (On Sand)
Paint the feather and beads on the sand using the same colors as the pink feather and beads hanging in the sky area.
SHADOWS
Extend the areas to be shaded in the sand area. Load the 1⁄2" angle brush with Asphaltum and add shading to the left of the starfish, around the shells and underneath the feather. Soften with a mop.
FINISHING
Remove any tracing lines with a kneaded eraser. Use the 2" taklon brush to apply several coats of DecoArt Ameri- cana Soft Touch Varnish, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
