I painted this Umbrella Cockatoo in watercolor tonight. (I used Mare's gorgeous Amigo as a model) It took about 3 hours.
To be honest, there are very few things I like about this. I accidentally painted over his tail, those branches on the right are HORRIBLE, the feet are bad, and white is very hard to detail in watercolor. However, I love the head, crest, and beak proportions, the sky, and the left side of the tree. I'm probably going to re paint this in acrylic, because I just adored the reference picture and feel it should be turned into a nice painting.
