This guide walks you through the intricate process of painting a hawk's head, emphasizing the importance of layering from light to dark. Start with a base layer of burnt sienna for the sketch, then focus on the head's details using wet-in-wet techniques. For the second painting, choose an object rich in detail and apply at least three layers: a base layer, a light detail layer, and a dark detail layer. Create a neutral-toned background to complement your subject, similar to the hawk's painting. Dive into student examples for inspiration!
