Peacock Session Number 9

Let's paint "Peacock Sessions – Part 9," a richly layered mixed media peacock created with handmade watercolor, metallic acrylics, shimmering watercolor glazes, and dimensional gold linework in this relaxing TikTok LIVE replay. In Part 9 of the Peacock Sessions, I focus on refining the final details that bring this peacock to life. We experiment with decorative embellishments, mix a custom shadow color using my handmade peacock blue watercolor, deepen the shadows throughout the bird, refresh the raised gold linework, and add subtle metallic shimmer throughout the background. By the end of the session, the painting is nearly complete, with just a few finishing touches and the final tape pull still to come.
