Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Textures - Use short, overlapping strokes with different shades of red, blue, yellow, and green to create the realistic, layered look of macaw feathers.
2. 2🖍️ Tropical Flora Details - Pay close attention to the orchids and bromeliads. Use vibrant purples, pinks, and yellows for the flowers, and various greens for the leaves, adding tiny details to their patterns.
3. 3✨ Branch Gnarling - Create depth on the gnarled branch by layering browns, grays, and even subtle greens. Use cross-hatching or stippling to emphasize the rough bark texture.
4. 4🌈 Light and Shadow Play - Imagine where the morning sun is hitting the scene. Use lighter colors for highlights and deeper, richer tones for shadows, especially under the birds and within the dense foliage.
