Woodpecker wondering why he has a headache - real painting

After doing the study, here is the real painting. Again, my birds are flat and I can't figure out how to make them 'round' or shaped. The tree's too dark but at that point I gave up on the whole thing. (I'm new at this and have no clue what I'm doing.)

Comment by Reid Barton on August 8, 2013 at 16:28: to you tube I go. Actually I just watched a guy named Maxim Grunin paint a huge painting and was blown away. He made it look soooo simple. But I know it isn't. Maybe I should just stick to the simple lesson you tube vids for now. I'm going to take some of Richard's courses. He covers everything.
