Painting Birds in Watercolour

In this watercolour tutorial I talk you through a painting of an American Robin. I go over my painting materials and colour choices, and reasons behind them. I give a breakdown of how to approach the drawing. Then we dive into the painting! Panting birds in watercolour is always fun. In this watercolour tutorial I focus on a simple first wash, really letting all the colours flow together. Once dry we come in with simple shadows, and looking to link these shadows together as much as possible.
