The Tropical bird lesson is a classic here. I think the reason it is such a great drawing subject is that there are so many colorful birds in the Rain forest.There are the Parrots, the Toucans,and the Macaws to name a few.
Parrots have beautiful long feathers, that are a delight to draw. The Toucan has an extremely long beak.It is surprising to realize how large it really is, and make a person wonder what it would be like to have such a massive beak on your face! The Macaw has beautiful bright feathers that give you the excuse to have fun with the coloring.
