Whimsical, front-facing digital painting of an ostrich with long lashes, colorful feathers, and an orange beak against a pastel painterly background.

A whimsical, front-facing ostrich portrait designed as a beginner-friendly paint party image. The ostrich has natural, expressive eyes with long lashes — not oversized or toy-like. Its feathers are painted with bold, painterly brushstrokes, using the same playful color palette as the penguin: navy blue, black, and purple in the shadows, blending into soft baby blue, creamy white, mauve, and golden yellow highlights. The colors should transition smoothly across the feathers, with lighter tones on the chest and face. The beak is warm orange-gold with hints of pink. The background is simple and painterly, with soft pastel brushstrokes in turquoise, peach, lavender, and pale yellow — matching the penguin’s background style. Overall, the style is vibrant but not oversaturated, with clear shapes and simple strokes that make it easy to teach at a paint party, similar to the approachable, whimsical style of Perkins paintings.
