Watercolor Robin: Painting a Cozy Winter Bird Step by Step

1. Intro: Hi, I'm Anna and welcome to this watercolor class. In this lesson, we will paint a European robin in a soft wintery composition, surrounded by branches, leaves, and a simple decorative bowl. This class is all about gentle layers, warm reds, and building character with simple shapes without overworking the painting. I'll show you my full process from my way for transferring sketch to watercolor paper through color mixing to small details that bring the bird to life. This class is suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to slow down and enjoy a calm watercolor session. Take your paper, prepare a warm red palette, and let's paint this little robin together. 2. How to transfer the sketch to papier: This class will start with the ready made sketch. I often get the question from you, how can you or do I do it? How do I transfer the sketch into watercolor Watercolor paper. I usually transfer it through I think it's called purple carbon paper. This is the way I do it because I don't mind the very harsh and visible trace on watercolor paper. So I usually do it like I have watercolor paper. I'll place my carbon purple carbon paper on it, and the sketch, I usually check, especially when the size of the paper is smaller, where it ends if the sketch is placed on the center of the paper, and then I'll use a Tig my micron usually all two or one or all three to trace it. I just drew on top of my sketch. But you need to be cautious not to move your sketch around. Still, I can check if I have everything from this side of drawing and then move on to this left side. Okay, let's see. If I traced everything. I see that I didn't finish this leave, so I will trace these inclines. Let's check once again. I suppose I have all. I'll just remove my sketch and remove the carbon paper, and I have my sketch ready on watercolor paper. I know that you cannot raise it with eraser, but I don't mind. I just like the even darker sketches sometimes. I like even to trace them with my fine liner at the end. That's why it doesn't really bother me that this is quite visible. Is that you can't raise. 3. First layer - reds: We will start to paint our holiday robin like usual in my previous classes, perhaps you will notice it in my previous classes, we will paint it step by step. Just like always, I will show you first the colors for each layer, and then we will paint together the layer. First, we will paint this belly of the bird. We need to prepare some colors. I will spray my palette, and we mix these colors in I call it 50 50 ratio. It's not very watery and not very translucent. First color is naples yellow. We have our naples yellow. The second color will be cadmium orange. I have cadmium orange from white knights, so it looks like this. I know that from different brands, this color may vary because when I started painting watercolors, I use Winston and Newton. For example, cadium orange from Winson and Newton was a bit different than this one. So this is my second color. The first color will be rose. This is rose. The last one is Alizarin. This is Alizarin, dark red. Let's make it in here. I will take my I call it medium brush. It's number four from Princeton. I like it because it's a soft brush. Let's start from the lightest shade, from the apples yellow, and let's paint almost almost all belly except this area around the eye. If you paint on it, don't worry because we can make it white again with wash later on. But if you can try to avoid this area, we have maples yellow. Okay. Let's clean our brush. I painted on the ice, but don't worry, like I said before, we can make it white again later on. Let's pick Cad orange and add some here and here under the eye. We want to create this shadow effect, it will blend with each other and we want that. Perhaps I'll switch to smaller brush for the darker shades and I will pick number two from Princeton. Let's take rose. Once again, we added in the places where we want more color transitions. With a smaller brush, I have better precision. I will add in here my rose. The same with Alizarin. I will clean my brush, make it dry on paper towel, and I will take my Alizarin. I will add it in here over here. In this area. And here. I see that I have a lot of water in this area because I'm still adding on color. Okay. Perhaps I will add some rose here. Let's leave it that way. While we have our reds ready, let's paint the berries. We have two shades of red and orange so we can with these colors paint the berries. I'll simply pick mostly rose and Alizarin. A if color bleeds between berries, it's not us and it's not something bad. While we will be painting berries and bow, the belly of the bird will dry. So let's move on to the bow and let's start from kople Cello I will paint painted with yellow in the beginning, and this area because I'm painting this all element at the same time because I want them to try a little between stages. I will pick my rose color. I won't be using orange this time, I will pick my rose and add it in here and in here the same I will avoid some areas. I don't want to paint everything with my colors. I want to leave some lighter areas on this bow. For example, like that. I see that this is quite wet. I will move on for now to the second bowl. Once again, let's start with the yellow koples yellow. Here here let's place noples yellow. I Let's do similar trick just like before so pick Rose added in here in this area. In this way, we have the center quite light and here we have a shadow from the leaves and from the upper part of the bone and have some shadow at the end of this but and leave it this way and let's go back to this area. It's dries a little. I will take my darkest color so Alizarin and add it to this part. This is still wet, so it will bleed, but not as much as it would, if it still be very wet. The same with this dark color red, I will add I will add details in here. Let's do the same trick on the second bow. I will add a bit touch. I just touched this area to make this color flow in here, and here I will add my darker red, so Alizarin. The same issue. Now we need to move on to these areas and I will start with the apple yellow and I will paint it, but be aware that the upper part is still wet and the colour may bleed and we don't want that in this area. But if that happens, don't worry much. Okay. And I will pick my rose and add it in here. I will perhaps leave it like that because I know that if I add more dark red sarin in the center, it will bleed on the yellow part and I don't want that. Still, at the end in one of the last layers, we will add colored pencils layers. I will simulate the darkness in here. We will simulate it with pencils. Let's do the same on this side, noble Clo and a touch of rose in the center. This is all for this stage. In the next step, we will paint the leaves. This all will dry and we will paint the snow and the leaves. 4. Leaves: For the leaves, we will mix two shades of green and one is my favorite of all times. So it's autumn green from Roman Schmal it's my favorite green. I just love this green. It's granulating color, so it always creates this very interesting effect just like before, we mix our color in 50 50 ratio and I will mix some more because I know that I usually mix not enough. This is first. The second is green gold also from Roman Schmo. If you don't have green gold, you can mix yellow or cadmium yellow with some kind of green with a touch of green if you have because it's green with a lot of yellow in it. This is green gold. Let's paint our leaves. I will choose between these two colors. I don't think much which one will I take in this part. Perhaps I will swap swap the smaller brush at the moment in a moment. I will switch to smaller brush because it's easier. Here, I will add some water to my color on paper and I will pick this green gold to create this transition between two colors secondly, for example, I will start from gold and we can, for example, paint the whole leaf with this gold. For example, we have gold. And let's add the screen in this way. In this manner, it's also fine. Let's, for example, move on to the leaf. I want this to to dry a little, so I will paint this one. I will start from autumn green at water on the paper and switch to the screen gold. We want to achieve the effect that not two leaves are the same, so they don't have the same color. I will add this green at the end. Again, I will start with autumn green Perhaps this one will be painted only with autumn green and perhaps at the end, I will add just a touch of this green gold and we will see the effect. Let's add a touches of green gold. This area is dry enough to paint it Okay. Okay. And we have one leaf left. Perhaps I see that leaves are lighter than this one, perhaps I will start with green gold. We have all. In the next step, we will paint the snow. 5. Snow: For the snow, we will use one of my favorite colors once again. Perhaps, if you watch my classes, you see that I use it almost every time when I need some kind of light gray. It's misty morning from Roman Schmal and it's also granulating colors. I call it pigeon gray and it's very, very beautiful. And I will mix it with water to mix with a lot of water to achieve very light color, very light. Still, if you don't have misty morning, you can create your own gray. You can add just a touch, for example, paints gray to water to create this very translucent gray. We only need something which is two tons darker than white. We have our gray color. And for that stage, we need smaller brush definitely because we will only add details in some parts of snowy areas. Still, I need to be aware because the belly of my birth is still wet. Perhaps let's start from this part and let's paint the snow. We don't paint the whole area of the snow. We only add the shadow. The real thing which we are painting at that moment is the shadow on the snow. A I forgot to draw the snow on my sketch on the branches, but still we can't paint them this way. So still we can do it. For example, it looks like that and we have here shadow on the snow the same goes in here. I will paint my snow just like that. Okay. Let's add an I in the stage Iris. To do that, we need something which is black. I usually use for that paints gray and I won't mix it on my palette because we need very thick paint, and I will take my smaller brush number three from restaurant house because it's not very soft brush. The Princeton is very soft, but I don't want soft brush. I want brush which is rather thick because I will have more control on it. I will take my paints gray, add just a touch of the water to it because I want it to be thick. I will check on my piece of paper. Okay, let's paint the iris. Still, you need to be aware that this is still wet. This is the step where everything comes to life because the eye is the most important part of this bird. When you add I, it just goes live this bird. This is all for this step. In the next step, we will go back to the belly of the bird because we need to put a second layer to darken some areas once again the same with the bowl, see you in the next step. 6. Reds - second layer: It's time to add more color to this area of the bird and to our bowl. So we will use the same two colors we used before, so we'll use rose and Alizarin. I need to mix them once again on my palette. So once again and this time, I need this color to be rather thick, it's like 50 50 ratio or even more paint, less water. Let's check in a minute. The transparency of our colors. Mix them in a 50 50 ratio. Perhaps it will be easier. This is my rows. And here will be my Azaren. We have our Alizarin ready. Let's start from bird belly and I will take a smaller brush because it will be easier to place the colors on the areas where we need them. I will take a smaller brush and it's a soft brush, I will take number two. Let's start from Rose let's add this color in here around the Okay. The eye and under the beak. We can still blend them with the dump brush, we can blend the edges. Let's do the same trick in here, so I will add my rose color and perhaps I won't even be blending this color in here. Only perhaps I will add more rose to this side and this edge will blend Let's pick Alizarin at a touch. I just touch a few times to make it bleed. I think I will do the same tripping here, just to touch and we want this area to be the darkest. I will place here my Alizarin, clean my brush, make it dry a little on paper towel, and blend the edges. I want soft blends in here. Perhaps I will blend also this. Let's do the same trick on the other side. Let's lace the Alizarin, the darker red. Like that. Clean brush, make it dry a little. With a damp brush, we just blend the edges. I think we also need to add just a touch of this dark red in here and here. I will pick my dark red and slowly add it here. Once again, clean my brush, make it dry on paper towel and with a damp brush. Blend the edges. We have the belly writing. Let's move on to the bow. Also, to the bow and berries because we can still add some shadow on the berries, so we can choose to pick one of these two colors. For example, let's choose a rose. And add some shadow, we will be adding shadow also with the colored pencils later on. But to make work more interesting, we can add this shadow also right now with the paints. With my rose color, I added shadow and we need to make some contrast on the bow because right now it's even. Except these areas where we have this yellow shining through this red. The bow is event tone and we want to make it more contrast. We will do it with Alizarin, so I will pick my Alizarin color and let's start with the middle. Of the bow and with the donut brush, I will blend the edges and here we will darken the side of the bow and lend the edges. With my brush, I see that I don't have enough Aizarin. That's why I will make it fast on my palette. Let's add some shadow in here, so I will only draw online. Clean my brush, make it dry, and blend the edges. Let's add some color red dark in here. We don't have to exactly blend the edges in this area where we place the last dark layer because it will create the effect of the creases on the ball. But I only add more paint to the center of this ball so let's move on to this bowl, the second one, the right one, and just like before, here I will just paint only one shade this area. Here once again, we recreate the same effect. Let's start from the center at our dark red. Perhaps we will blend the edges and let's add do this edge. Darker blend the edges with the done brush. Here we do the same. I will place my color. Here we have a shadow the bird is casting shadow on a bow and I will blend the edges here, I want the bottom part of the bow and decide to be darker, and let's plant the edges. Fine. I think I will also add more. I want the center here to be the darkest, so I will add some more and I won't even be blending the edges. You can of course blend it, but you can leave it also because we will add the pencils on top of that and it will cover Here let's add the shadow, I will place more color. And blend. Edges. Once again, I need to make more Aizarin I will add added here. And blended. That's not all with our red still with the same two colors, but mostly with the Alizarin, I'm going to add some details on a bird and on a bow. But for that, I need a smaller brush, so I will take number three from rest house, but this one is differ. I said it many times that Princeton is more soft brush. Restaurant house is more stiff and right now, I need more stiff brush if I want to add details and I need the paint to be more thick. I will add just a bit of water because I need more of this paint and more paint. I need this paint to be more thick. And I need this paint to be morphic. I will check on my scrap paper if I can paint lines and we will be painting lines indicating the feathers on the bird, but we don't paint striight lines. We will always be painting rounded shapes. If I see that my paint is thick enough and my layer on a bird is already dry, I will add details in here, we will paint some feathers. And here near the eye. Also in here, here we have also some and in the area which is the darkest. Remember, the lines should be rounded. Let's move on to the bow and I will place my color in the center to make it even more darker. I will outline I outline the bow. We can still do it with the pencil later on. Don't worry if you don't have vary. If it's too hard for you, you can wait and do it with the pencils. Okay. The same in here, outline. This is all when it comes to reds. In the next step, we will move on to the branches. See you then. 7. The feathers and the branch: Okay, so right now we need to mix colors for our branches, and we need two colors. So we need a light brown and a dark brown. So as a light brown, I usually use I usually use red her. So this is my red Oh. Okay. And I will mix it in 50 50 ratio. So in the medium, like, um the same amount of water and paint. The other color, I usually use October 2023, but it was limited color and I have used it to the end and I cannot count by it anywhere. That's why I have new color, new shade, and this is raw amber. I will use raw amber to this. For this step. But still, if you have some dark brown, other brand or because this color is from Roman Schmal but if you have other dark brown, you can also use it. So these are two colors which I will use right now. This time, I will take my smaller brush. This time, I will take the smaller brush but the softest one. I will use Princeton number two. For this stage, just we mix between these two colors. For example, I will use I will use my light brown at the start, then I will switch to this darker Here, I will clean my brush, make it dry on paper towel, and again, take the lighter one because I want these colors to bleed on paper. That's why I'm switching them while they are still wet. Once again, clean my brush, make it dry, and take the darker shade. And I will paint this way all the branches. Okay. And we also will paint right now the legs of the bird. So I will take this darker color so Amber and I will just paint them. I don't like painting birds. I love painting birds, but the legs are the worst part of the bird for me to paint, something like that. I will mix my brown, once again, dark brown because I don't have enough. So 1 second. Because right now we will be painting the wings and here the head of the bird. So we need our dark brown and a touch of light brown. We need light brown to paint the beak of our bird. So with the light brown, I will paint the upper part. And I will clean my brush, make it dry on paper towel and I will take this dark brown and paint the lower part of the beak. Yes, the beak is also after the legs, the beak is the worst part to paint in a bird. But we can do that. With the dark brown, let's start to paint our wings and let's start with the left part, especially when you are right handed, because if we start from this side, we can smudge it. It's easier to start with the left part. We will paint wings also with the rounded shapes and you can leave the white areas unpainted. It will create the illusion of light reflecting on the wings, and it doesn't look quite good if the whole area is painted in one color. In one color, we can only paint this sail only because it is in shadow, it's the darkest part of the bird. But for the wings, we will paint. That's why I'm still using soft small brush. Still, if you paint these areas, we will um we will paint the whites with the gouache, it doesn't matter. Don't worry if you did paint the whole thing or just in my case, it looks strange because it's too event for me. Perhaps I will do something like that. While this is still wet, I will add more brown. To make it even more darker. This painting, just like I said before, I painted with October 2023 and it's more dark more dark color. We'll see how it looks when the brown is a bit lighter than in this case. It also be interesting for me. Here I will paint here you can even paint the whole section area. You can leave white or not because we will add this white with gouache later on. If you see that it's easier for you to paint the whole area. With the brown, just do that. With this color, it looks quite, perhaps I will love more this effect with this dark brown. I will add while this is still wet, I will add more of this brown because I want it to be a bit darker. That's why I'm adding the second layer while this is wet. That's all for now. That's all for now. In the next step, we will move on to the bottom because it is the only thing we didn't paint so far and perhaps we will add the second layer to our lips to make them more interesting. After that, we will switch to pencil colored pencil, see you in the next step. 8. Leaves second layer: Okay. So while this is still wet, I don't want to paint the belly of my bird. And well, I see that I didn't paint this area, so I will paint it. Because it was a mistake on my sketch, and I won't be painting the belly at the moment because the wings are wet, so I'm worried that if I will start to paint this area, the brown will bleed and I don't want that. That's why we will move on to the leaves right now. Once again, we will go back to the same colors which we used before, but for now, I will only mix one color. It's just like medium green. I usually use autumn green for medium green, and this is this color. It's like a grass green, I will call it. I will mix it in 50 50 ratio. Once again, this is my color. I think I will start with the number four, but soft brush. I'm thinking if this will be right because this area aren't too big. That's why I always think which brush will be more suitable. The smaller one or the medium. Let's start with the medium and we'll see how it goes. I will take my color and add shadow in here. And there is no rule to paint these leaves. We just paint them in the areas where we definitely have shadow. For example, in here, and we can blend this. We can if we like, if you don't like the hard edges. But still, we can leave them just like they are in here. Because when you look at leaves, they are not evenly. So for example, we will paint them this way. I will only for sure add the green to the areas where I know for sure that there is a shadow. And for the rest of my so there is definitely shadow under the snow. And still be aware that this is not a real illustration, perhaps I meant it is a real illustration, but not realistic one, so you can paint the shadow just like you like if you feel, perhaps in this way, something like that. And perhaps I will add more to this area. I will pick colors straight from my pen because I want it to be darker. That's quite nice, very nice. In the next step, we will paint the belly, paint some details. But it will be, I suppose, just one line on the big and then we will move on to the colored pencils. See you then. 9. Watercolor details: Okay, like I said before, this will be the last step with watercolors. So we need two colors for our belly. And one of them will be the same as we have in here. So you need a light some kind of light gray. But for that, I will use my favorite color. So it is misty morning from Roman Schmal I usually call it pigeon gray. This is color which is granulating. We need this color and the other one should be our light brown. In my case, it is red ocher. I suppose I had it in here and this light brown should be should be very light. With a lot of water, we only need a glimpse of it, very light shade in this area, very light. That's why I mix it with a lot of water. Okay. Just like I told you in the previous step, we also need a dark brown for our beak. I will take my stiff and smaller brush with the stiff and not the soft one, but the stiffer one. It's number three from restore house. I will take my brown straight from the pun. Because I want it to be dark and I want to paint very thin line. I need less water on my brush and I will draw this line on a beck and I will add this line indicating the shadow on the beck. Well, clean my brush, make it dry a little on paper towel because I don't want to have much water on my brush. Just with the tip, I'm trying to blend this dark brown into the area. Okay, so I think this is all for now for the big because we will add a glimpse of gouache later on in the very last step, and we will be painting this belly, and we will be painting wet on wet. I choose my number four round from Princeton. It's very soft brush, and I will cover the whole area with water. Let's pick our gray and add it Adi in here. Once again, I'm starting from the sides because the sides will be in shadow. That's why they are at the darkest. This is still wet. I'm cleaning my brush, make it dry on paper towel and I will pick my light brown and add it in here. Something like that. This is all for watercolors. We need to leave it to dry and in the next step, we will move on to colored pencils. See you then. 10. Red colored pencils: Okay. My first color will be luminance 589. This is Izarin crimson and it looks like that. It's the same color, the same hue which we used with watercolors, but we have it in pencil and it's a bit darker. With my crayon, will I will define all my berries. So I will outline them. And without pressing hard, and with a bit of sight of this crayon, I will create shadow on my belly. On one side and on the other side. Sometimes it is just easier to do it with pencils. We can also add some strokes here on a bird in the areas which are very dark and we don't see exactly the texture made with the paint. For example, we can add some here bit in here. We can with the side of the seal create more depth. I will add some strokes and more depth on the side of this pens. Let's move on to the bow. First, well, I will make more shadowing here. Here, I will also make a shadow inside of this bow and the same on the other side, we have a strong shadow here, we also have some shadow in here and in the center here on the wall we are doing it. We do this shadow on both sides of the boll also we need to make. I'm still painting with the side of my pencil because it's easier to control how much the color we have on our illustration. If you want this shadow to be lighter, we just don't press too hard our crayon and make less layers with the crayon. If we want to have this shadow darker, then we just press harder and make a few more layers. Also, the other side here let's add and want this to be the darkest in the top part of this. Here I will just make a little darker and at the bottom. In this stage, if you haven't done this outlines with the watercolor of the ball, you can do it with the crayon. It's easier because you can sharpen it to the sharp end and you just just draw these lines easier. This is also the way you can do it. In the next step, we will move on to the branches and leaves. In a little bit on a belly. Only two steps left. 11. Green colored pencils: Okay. So for the leaves for the leaves, I picked two colors from Luminus Carendahm. I usually use this too. Forever when you watched my previous classes, it's always the same shades of green. So one is the most green two to five. So it comprehends the autumn green. It's one shade darker than my paint, and the other one is dark sub green 739 and it's very beautiful and deep green color. With these two greens, perhaps I will start with my dark green and I will outline, but not every just like you see, not every outline is connected. Sometimes I just don't connect them with each other. I drew something like that in the center part also. These lines looks rough and I left a white spot in here and I don't want that. That's why I will painted with pencil. I Okay. And perhaps it will be easier to switch to the most green color right now and we start adding shadow. We add shadow and drew some lines. Perhaps I will sharpen my crayon. We also add shadow under the snow and under the berries. Yes. Perhaps I will make this on the center of the lines this time because I didn't do it in my first work. This will be a bit different. Once again, I will switch to darker shade. I will drop this stems. You can also do it with the lighter shade. With my dark green, I also add more shadow in the areas where I think it should be a bit darker. I'm also do it with the side of my pencil and here under the snow perhaps more shadow. A you can even go beyond the shadow and make some shades on the leaves. It also looks interesting. I think this is all for the greens and we now go back to our belly for belly, I picked two colors. One is a very dark gray and it's number 71 from Mondus this is like this and the other one is nine oh six Sepia, 50% from luminance arandsa. This is more brownish. Let's start from this gray and very slowly. Also with the side of my pencil, I'm building a shadow in here. So very slowly because then you have more control of how this turns out. This is my shadow. And now I'm switching to sepia and I will add more shadow to the sides and more color to the sides and in here where I know that I didn't do it in my first work, but I think it will look much better or I will try and see if I add it here and we have our belly almost done. Perhaps here, I will add more of this color because this will be in the darkest. Okay. And something which I didn't do in this work was also details with this sepia. Perhaps it was before it was because my brown in here was much darker than the one I used in here. So in this situation, I need to darken my wing because it is too bright, too light. So I will darken it, perhaps darken a little legs and add details on my legs. I think we can try to also add some details on wings. And I will also darken this a bit. This is all for crayons and in the very last step, we will add black dots on our berries and white. It's not all I suppose, still with the sepia picked, I will darken my branches under the snow. Thank you. So this is something I didn't do in my first work and it's once again because I have different brown used here. I don't have it now because it was limited color and it's not available to buy it again. That's why I need to darken my branches some other ways. I will simulate the shadow with my crayon in the areas where it meets with the snow. This is all for a colored pencil stage. In the next step, we will move on to the white quash, and we will also add black dots to our berries. See you then. 12. Guache: Let's start with the black dots. I will pick my black straight from my pan. I have only wet brush and I'll pick number three, it's a small brush and the one which is stiffer. And I will pick my black straight from the pen. If you don't have black, for example, you have pains gray, you can choose pains gray. It doesn't really matter. If you don't have any paints gray and any black on your palette, you can draw it with the black pencil or fine liner, it also will be fine. Let's add this black dots. Just like you see, the small details makes the difference. Okay, so we have done with black, and let's move on to the white quash. I have it squeezed in here, so I only add water to it. I want very thick paint on my brush. I test on my scrap paper if I can draw some dots, lines, thick lines. I don't have small brush. That's why I'm using this number three. Let's start from a bird. Let's define this white outline around the eye. We can add some details on belly just like I did here, but it's up to you if you want them or not. We will add some thick lines in here indicating that here we have some light which creates a shine effect on the feathers and once again, we have some shine on the upper part of the beak here and with the short lines, and I'm trying to make them very thin. But here, you see that they are thin and here you see that they are not so fin, sometimes it just not working. These two effects are quite here. The same on this side. I see that I have a dry brush. That's why I will add more water to my white. Once again, I will test it on the scrap paper and let's add some details just like the dots on the berries. This could be only some dots. It don't have to be much. Let's add some details on our leaves. This could be the simple lines, short strop short strokes does not very connect with each other even look better and here and we also have the ball. We have some light shines in here. We have the reflected light in here, so we will draw it and the same on the other side. I'm trying to paint this fin line. We have some light shines in here. And the same on the other side. I will once again pick my white paint some stars on board. In the Sia and in the seria. Let's add some stars in here. And the same on the other side. Okay. And this is all. We made it to the very last step. I hope you enjoyed painting what mean. So see you in the wrap up video. 13. Outro: Thank you so much for painting with me. I hope this robin brought you a bit of calm and joy. Every version will look different and that's exactly how it should be. Please don't forget to upload your project to the class gallery. I truly love seeing your birds and color choices. If you enjoy this class, a short review would mean a lot and help other students discover it too. You can also follow me here on Skillshare for more watercolor birds, sketchbook studies, and slow painting sessions. Thank you again and see you in the next class.
