For the legs I mist them with mars red than highlite the front of the tarsus with Cadnium Red. lightly mist with white pearl. spray the pads of the toes and the heal with yellow ocre. and tone down with a tan. Than give the whole leg a wash coat of light blue gray and very light wash with white. The bill depending upon real or artificial has more yellow and orange in it. start with yellow than orange than a gill red and darken the base with a darker red. finish with a gray wash and a coat of mat medium
