Birds and Florals in Watercolor

In this class, we will learn to paint beautiful birds with florals! We will use reference images to paint our birds and draw flowers in our own style.

First we will talk about sketching and then slowly move on to sketching and painting 3 different birds!

This class is both for beginners and experts, as there is a lot of room to experiment with shapes and colors.

I will share my pinterest board full of birds, which I usually use for reference. I will also share sketches of the birds that we will paint in this class. Please check the Resources section to grab a copy of sketches and all the colors used in this class.

Pinterest board: (All the birds used in this class can be found here)

Please refer to the attachment in Resouces section under Intro video for the link to the Pinterest board.

Supplies:

• Watercolor paper 190gsm or higher

• Round brushes No. 6 and one in smaller size - either 0 or 1

• A pencil and an eraser for sketching

• Watercolor paints (either liquid, tubes or pans)

In the end, just pick up whatever you have. It's not about spending hundreds of dollars for the project, but just starting with whatever you have access to.

Let's paint some birds!
