Watch this small clip of me creating this short representation of a hummingbird amidst peonies. You’ll see the cuts and nuances of the texturing process, where the interplay of light and shadow begins to take shape. Each layer is carefully hand-painted with transparent colors, allowing for a depth and luster that brings the scene to life. The delicate details of the hummingbird’s feathers contrast beautifully with the soft petals of the peonies, culminating in a harmonious visual experience.
