I never intended this to be a tutorial when I painted it, so it is very much a sneak peek over my shoulder as I paint in an intuitive way, figuring it out as I go. I will slow down the footage in most of the parts because I did a lot of painting with analogous colors. Read on for an explanation of analogous colors and how this technique can make the color in your paintings SO much more alive and vibrant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mURII In areas like the bird's body, I

I LOVE painting these bite sized watercolors - it's so easy to tuck 10 minutes of painting here and there in an otherwise hectic schedule - and these painting require lots of drying time, so you can paint a little, let it dry, and come back the next day to paint a little more. This transparent butterfly tutorial is FULL of great little lessons - my favorite being a new insight I had about creating a glowing black perfect for filmy butterfly wings. Don't miss this one!

This is my first try at painting a wood duck, and so I painted very experimentally and intuitively. I slowed down some of my footage to more fully explain my process so you can HOPEFULLY follow me a little more easily and understand what I'm doing.

This started out as an experiment for me to see how well lamp black would 'fur out' on Canson XL student grade sketchbook paper, and it...

This tutorial (more like a demonstration) is not for the faint of heart - this painting took me many more layers than I anticipated, which means it took a lot longer to paint to build up the depth of color and values in Sassy's coat. It all paid off in the end when I painted one. more. glaze. and it all came together like magic. I love it when this happens and I was starting to think it never would because I had worked on it for so long with no end in sight.
