| Painting a mallard's bill. I am painting a mallard (drake)....what is the color of the bill on the lower mandible???
Topside is cadium yellow, yellow ochre and a touch of a green wash.
I am using oil paints, thinned out and will do two or three coats.
Thanks,
Jax |

| Re: Painting a mallard's bill. Jax,
Take the color from the top of the bill and add a touch of Burnt Sienna.
Blend a little Burnt Umber in where the bill meets the head.
