A landscape with birds

Be sure you watch my video on 'Materials' for watercolour and in particular the video on making skinny lines before you paint the birds. Don't worry if your scene is not exactly like mine. No watercolour is ever the same. That is what is wonderful about watercolour. The variations are great. This is also a favorite of my students and they succees with this project every time.

In this class you’ll learn the essential oil painting techniques: glazing, scumbling and impasto. Glazing is an amazing technique where you apply a transparent or semi-transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dry layer of paint.
