Peacocks:

These lovely Peacocks were produced after closely studying  photos.  The students firstly looked at and sketched the feathers.  Next they painted the feathers and individually cut them out.  The main painting was an enlarged part of a Peacock, again painted and detailed with shading and ink.  The feathers were glued on last.
Thick PVA glue was added to the feathers to give them a glossy finish.
