How to paint BIRDS | The Majestic WEDGE TAILED EAGLE | Oil Painting Tutorial

In this tutorial I take you through the FULL PROCESS showing you just about every stage, through to completion. Working with live birds and collecting reference and HD video certainly helps. I wanted this Eagle to be sitting on a branch with sky behind, so I took it through a DESIGN process with this in mind. The final result is a little more painterly than my usual work; it will hopefully give you a few expressive techniques to refer to and try in the studio. ENJOY!
