Default 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

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.
