A cheeky garden favourite here in the UK, the Blue Tit...sooo fun to paint too!!:)

The colours for this painting were all from Holbein:
Pyrole Red
Prussian Blue
Maganese Blue (happily replace the Pthalo or juts use Prussian)
Imidazilone Yellow

It was painted on Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour paper (gummed block) with a size 14 & size 8 synthetic round brush.

In this series we will be looking at using minimal equipment to create quick & simple, 10 - 20 minute, watercolour paintings of birds. The emphasis will be on lots of movement, character and letting the beautiful medium of watercolour just do it's thing! With just the odd hit of detail. These are going to be fun and expressive watercolours, full of life...and hopefully for everyone from total beginner to seasoned watercolourist.

As the series goes on I will be building on the these approaches, principles and tips, so please consider subscribing if this is your thing.
