Paint Love Birds in Watercolor: Step by Step

Do you love birds? Fancy some challenge as well? Then this course is perfect for you!

In this course you will not just copy a reference photo onto paper, but:

1. Understand how watercolor works
2. Learn the rules of color mixing
3. Figure out how to create realistic birds
4. Learn how to paint fluffy feathers
5. Discover additional watercolor tricks and secrets to achieve the outstanding results!

This course will teach you how to use mixed watercolor style (realistic and impressionistic) to create a beautiful artwork that stands out! 

It won't look like a kid drawing or a page from a coloring book. You will learn watercolor foundations which will allow you to create 3-dimensional realistic art.

In this course, every step is explained and demonstrated. First, we will talk about color palettes and what makes your artwork realistic and stand out. Then we will draw a sketch of those 2 lovely birds. After we will practice mixing colors and prepare our paints. And of course, paint this exact couple of birds where I will guide you from start to finish in real-time.
