A grackle oil study I did as a practice, figuring out how to approach painting iridescence before I tackled my Holding Back Birds painting. I was going to offer him with a special reward tier on the Kickstarter but he was bought by a friend at Illuxcon a few weeks ago! Really looking forward to doing more enjoyable studies like this next year though.

You can see the final painting this was prep for and snag some prints on the Kickstarter until December 1st!
