Step
1

Select six white craft feathers in various widths and lengths.

Then, select a palette of paints to use. Don’t squeeze out too much as you will only need a few brushstrokes worth of paint for this project.

Apply paint to the feather starting about 2.3″ from the bottom and work your way to the edge. Use a flat edge brush for a nice crisp start to the “dip” effect.
