Watercolor Birds

Learn to paint beautiful birds with watercolor artist Amarilys Henderson. Don't struggle any more with these fascinating subjects. Birds are intricate, curious, and colorful little creatures with an anatomy unlike any other. Their charm and beauty fascinate us, and their diversity have kept artists engaged for centuries. Birds are fabulous subjects, ones with meaning and appeal!

"I can't paint birds." You aren't the only one thinking that.

Amarilys will teach you how to paint birds in the fluid vibrance of watercolor. Her #colorbirdz Instagram challenge gave her over 60 opportunities to explore them, and she now shares her process and tips in this class. 

What you will gain from this class:

• An eye for distinguishing the differences in bird types and features
• An understanding and appreciation for their anatomy
• A relaxed perspective on how to sketch
• A fluid approach to painting what seems technical or intimidating
• Instruction on wet on wet watercolor techniques
• Learning how to incorporate an underpainting, and its impact
• Basic knowledge of how to isolate an object using Adobe Photoshop
• A working knowledge of paint brush styles and textures
• Extra confidence to paint any kind of bird

Amarilys thought birds were too specialized to be within her skillset. This class can show you that you'd be wrong to think the same.
