Of all the paintings I sell, my bird paintings are the most popular and one of the most popular bird paintings I sell are my Galahs. Lots of people have asked me to demonstrate how I paint a Galah so in this class I'll show you how. Watch over my shoulder as I walk you step by step through my entire painting process. I've included a watercolour technique video in this class to give you a closer look at the different techniques I use to paint the Galah.

Some of the techniques you will learn in this class:

How to soften edges
How to paint soft edges
How to paint hard edges
Painting feathers negatively
Dropping in colour
Painting wet on dry
Painting wet on wet
How to add watercolour blooms to create texture
Lifting colour
Painting water onto paper- how wet is it?
Putting paint on the palette

I recommend this class for intermediate painters but beginners will also find it useful.
