vtxemberbloom, A red kite raptor banks above a sheer mountain ledge, seen from slightly below with its forked tail spread and both wings fully visible. The nearer wing sweeps upward across the composition while the farther wing turns toward a pale opening in the sky. Make the primary feathers, wing roots and body attachments coherent, with the head small and sharply directed into the turn. Use tangerine and lemon yellow through the broad wing planes, electric blue and violet in the dark underside, and substantial black along the feather tips. Below, reduce the mountain to one heavy diagonal rock mass and a few spare grass marks. Keep the air spacious and the bird slightly off center. Broad directional strokes carry the flight; detail gathers only at the beak, eye and essential feather divisions.
