Watercolour Bird Painting: Puffins & Sea Thrift Masterclass for All Levels

Hi Kris - this is lovely, very eye-catching. The shading on their faces is particularly good, along with the little bursts of colour on their bellies. I also really like the foreground you've done with pastel - may try that myself! Best wishes, Carrie

Thank you Carrie. It is truly a wonderful tutorial.  Re: Pastel Chalk It is a trick I learned from your countryman, Paul Clark. He is who I started painting with and continue painting with on You Tube. Although it probably makes those purists cringe it is very effective. I love it for taillights and reflections on rainy streets.

Love your sweet puffins! Colors are fantastic and really like their expressions. &lt;3

Thank you Teresa I tell you they are up to something fishy!

Love the colors! Those little pops of yellow/orange on the bellies and eyes are fantastic. Gorgeous!

Thanks Charlotte! Carrie's Technique of laying down purple and blue is wonderful for depth and peep through color. I kinda screwed up on the beaks but I love that multicolor blend to turn the form on their faces.

Thank you for looking and commentingf Carmen

They're definitely plotting something! These are wonderful :)

These little ones are so adorable Kris!  I love the vibrant blues and purples. :)

Thanks Diana It is that technique of Carrie"s so great

Well done!! They look like they are talking about something important!
