basecoat the buds on the stems. While still wet, blend in Olive Yellow. The buds will vary in color, as you will be picking up some color from the still-wet stems.

Basecoat the cardinal with Holiday Red. Next, load half the angular shad-er with Holiday Red and the other half with Black Cherry. Starting at the crown, chisel paint down the cardinal s back, keeping the Black Cherry to the outside edge. Tip: this technique is somewhat similar to float shading. To chisel, just smoothly paint down using the bottom edge of the paintbrush. It might help to place a finger alongside the bristles as a guide. This creates a sharp angular look, while also blending the two colors together (see Fig. 2).

Rinse your brush and reload with Holiday Red and Pumpkin. Chisel down, with the Pumpkin keeping to the outside chest edge of the cardinal (see Fig. 3).

Section off the face by painting the eye and throat area with Black and the beak with Pumpkin. The legs and feet are also Pumpkin.

Pick up a small amount of Holiday Red to highlight the tail and wing feathers (see Fig. 3). While still wet, highlight this area again with Pumpkin. Repeat highlighting process for the crown area.

When all paint has thoroughly dried, finish with varnish of choice and insert the clock face.

Prominently display your clock, and then watch the time fly! jf|
