Learn to Paint Colorful Birds in Watercolor: A Step-by-Step Painting Guide How Use Expressive Colors

Your colours are indeed vibrant and that’s the magic of your work.Thank you for sharing your knowledge

How very beautiful! Your paintings are so vivacious.

Beautiful colors! I am dedicating a wall in my office to watercolor or acrylic paintings on birds that I paint. This is one that I definitely want to paint. Thank you. I am a little slow with all my painting projects. So much to paint, sometimes I have trouble making decisions on where to start!

Thank you so much for reaching out Patti! Filling your wall with bird paintings sounds like a lovely idea. I appreciate your interest in painting this one.
I know exactly how you feel, my list of things to paint grows much faster than I can possibly paint them!

Watercolor! You did an amazing job.

That is BEAUTIFUL! Love the colours

It is a beautiful painting, so vibrant and delicate at the same time. The exquisite selection of color, brushstroke and lighting make this woodpecker a little piece of art

Thank you so much for such nice feedback! :)

Outstanding! I love the colors! We have some nasty (but beautiful) pileated woodpeckers at our place... They are amazing creatures, that's for sure. I'm looking forward to painting this bird.

Thank you so much Ruth! I'm very grateful for your interest in my class. I like the red crest on pileated woodpeckers, never seen them in real life though. Had no idea they were nasty.

They leave nasty holes in the wooden beams of our house...

Really beautiful. You are very talented!!

Thank you so much Anne for your continued encouragement!

That's outstanding work, I loved it. I will definitely be going to try your class.

Thank you so much! I'm very grateful for your interest in my class :)

Couldn't agree more - beautiful blend of colours!

I made the woodpecker much more vibrant than it is in reality, but I really enjoy exploring colour. It is watercolour after all, not waterduller!
