B2 ( Grammar)--The order of adjectives

Descriptive writing is characterized as containing sentences with more than one adjective. When this occurs in English, adjectives are placed before the noun they qualify and follow a specific order which is determined by the adjective and its use. We might use an adjective to talk about shapes, colours, origin, etc.

ADVANCED POINTS- SPOKEN LANGUAGE AND THE USE OF ADJECTIVES
When speaking we try not to put too many adjectives in front of the noun. How do we avoid doing this?
By adding phrases beginning with and, with or in or adding a relative clause
Have a look at these examples:
1. rather stupid-looking, clumsy birds with blue feet and long necks.
2. Charming, rustic cottages in stone. In = de 
3. delicious Thai curries, ( which were)made of fish and coconut.
