Flame Robin No 7 In acrylics

I enjoyed painting this one.  Red feathers are always a bit of a challenge to paint as you can't really use white to create the light feathers as you would end up with pink feathers.  So, to lighten the feathers I usually build the feathers up with white and then glaze over them with yellow and red paint which seems to work rather well.
