Let me guide you through the entire process from start to finish on how to paint these amazing EIGHT North American birds: Blue Jay, Cardinals, Chickadee, Hummingbird, Swan, Loons, Baltimore Oriole, Eagle! We will go through various techniques such as wet in wet, layering, fine brush, lifting off, adding wood texture, and working everything up to a realistic bird with a soft background using negative painting! I always enjoy sharing many tips and tricks as we work together through the whole tutorial. Many times, we can enjoy happy accidents which gives each of our paintings an unique outcome. We may begin with the same reference but each of our paintings will have their own life. Bird references provided are for only instructional use, and students are encouraged to take liberties to change either the sketch or colours used. The final individual painting size for each bird will be approximately 11 inch by 7 inch and can then be finished with a mat 16 inch to 12 inch. As a bonus, students will be provided a smaller version of the transfers to create a greeting card!

Students will be given, the reference photo and the outline transfer drawing to help along the way. Bird references provided are for only instructional use, but take liberties to change either the sketch or colours used. When I was deciding what colours to use, I tried to keep my palette limited amount of pigments to paint all these birds. Work at entirely your own pace! Learn to paint birds in this approximate 7 hour course, all from the comforts of your own home! Tutorials available to watch anytime 24/7, so you can choose and paint at your own pace!

Go on, give it a go, these colourful striking birds, how can you resist putting brush to paper?
