Background added by first laying done a dark tone, then stippling lighter color on top with a large brush to emulate wall texture. Next pass started on the right leg of the bird.

I realized I never uploaded this oil study I did back in 2018. I wanted to learn from the Dutch Golden Era painter Jan Baptist Weenix, and landed on his 1651 piece, "Dead partridge hanging from a nail." This study taught me so much about paint layering, transparency and texture especially.
