Speed Painting a Bird in Photoshop
This speed painting shows a small bird being painted in Adobe Photoshop with basic brushes, shown as a process video with no voiceover.
The artwork
A blue songbird with a soft yellow breast perches on a branch, seen in profile, against a blurred green background. The feathers are suggested with short brush strokes and gentle shading, and the blurred background pushes the bird forward and keeps the focus on it.
What to look for
The painting goes from a flat silhouette to broad shading to feather marks and highlights, with the sharp eye and beak added last. Notice how the soft background and the few bright highlights give the small bird depth and life.
