Brown and Yellow Bird Attempt One-Acrylic Paint

Although I know this is only my second time using acrylic paints in this style I am not happy with this piece at all. I feel I haven’t blended the colours as well as they should’ve been and this leaves the bird with no texture, which was the main aspect I was focusing on.  If I choose to use this technique again I’m going to try to produce the same quality as piece number 6.
