What is in it

Nearly every page is a single bird at a flower, wings caught mid-beat and drawn as overlapping feather rows. The flowers are trumpet shapes — big, open, and the easiest part of each page.

How it colours

Denser than Bird but with an obvious order to work in: flower first, body second, wings last. Iridescence is the point, so this is the book to use your brightest colours on.
