Common texture

and stroke patterns

In the two close-ups of the

Blue Jay Mill

(right, and opposite page), you may see a

blue jay sitting on an oak branch with leaves

and acorns or a stone mill with a small

lean-to addition.

Looking closer you will discover there are

no shading strokes—no smooth, blended

areas of work that gradually changed sepia

tones. Instead, both of these samples were

worked strictly with texturing strokes.

Create the blue jay using all fine detail line

work. Work the pale tonal values in the beak,

around the eye, and in the belly area at a low

setting using tightly packed short lines.

Medium-length lines at a medium-

temperature setting establish the top of the

head, back area above the wings, and the

base of the tail.

Working with tightly packed short lines

and a hot temperature the markings around

the eyes, on the wings, and on the tail

complete the bird.
