Fern and Feather Scroll

Three decorative feathers curve through fern fronds, leaves and berry clusters. Follow the tall flowing arrangement from the largest feather sections to the little curled tips.

How much detail?

Feather barbs, fern leaflets and berries provide many fine spaces. About the labels.

Alternate lilac and blue feather sections, use green on ferns, and peach berries. Leave small gaps white to separate overlapping forms.

A small coloring tip

Keep a sharp pencil for the fern leaflets and berries; use light strokes from each feather shaft toward its outer edge.

Could these be feathers from an imaginary garden bird?
