The workshop will take the fear out of painting birds by logically and methodically breaking down the painting process. Designed for both beginners and more experienced artists! Paying close attention to detail, learn how to render the form of a shore bird convincingly, from its feathers to its feet. Learn new techniques and color theory. Demonstrations, step-by-step instruction and one-on-one attention will be provided. I will supply reference materials.

 

Supply List

 

Paper

 If there is anything to spend money on, it’s paper!  I would strongly recommend purchasing Arches cold press watercolor paper – even for practice!  It’s important to practice painting on the same sheet type on which you’ll be doing your final work.  I recommend a block of Arches cold press watercolor paper, 12x16 or larger.
