I'm going to paint one colour at a time, starting with the head and working my way down. With a mid-tone blue, I roughly painted in the feathers, concentrating on the direction first. I then did a very light blue for the top of the head. To make a dark blue, I added a tiny bit of red and brushed through the feathers, softening them as I went. Extra highlights were added with a fine brush and some medium to the ends of the feathers where they overlap. Mess it up with a few stray feathers, and split feathers so it doesn't become too uniform. Redarken some patches here and there for extra depth, especially around the eyes.
