In this tutorial I am going to show you how to paint a red cardinal. I love this subject because it will contrast beautifully on a dark paper, and it is a real pleasure to work with the wonderful Unison Colour reds.

To give the bird a lot of vividness, we will bring orange pigments in the light areas. We will get some help from pastel pencils for the smallest details of the eye and the beak. Any brand of pastel pencils will work, mine is Faber Castell Pitt.

Check the video below for a little taster of this delightful 17 minute tutorial.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
