    Great tip with the eyes on tracing paper. I just painted 2 of these. They came together so quickly and so much fun. Added a few embellishments with metallic watercolours. Definitely making one into a mother's day card. Loved this tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing Diane.

      Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed them Carolyn and that they worked well for you! Hundreds of possibilities for those cuties!

      I just painted these as well. Turned out cute! Good idea on the metallic watercolor accents. I just bought some and haven't used them yet. I will paint these birds again and have fun with metallic accents! :-)

      I agree about the tracing paper…great idea. I am not a painter but I make birds from another medium and the eyes are always a problem. I think the paper would work for that too. The whole thing comes alive with the minor details.

      this video has made watercolor painting look so easy. I have the 140 lb paper and ordered some tubes of watercolor paint, but I don't know what kind of brushes to get. I am a little intimidated i have to say and don't want to invest a lot until i see that I am going to have fun and enjoy it. but, here goes !!!

You can "umm" whenever you want. I never noticed. The person who made that comment is just a nasty person who is definitely on this earth to not spread joy. I'm so sorry it upset you!

    Brilliant! Just a brilliant tutorial. I have taken a lot of watercolour courses which all tried to teach me to paint something that looks "real". Discouraging. But what I really want to paint is exactly this. Loads of room for creativity and my own personality without being constrained by realism. And so lovely to give as gifts. Thank you!!! I'm inspired - off to paint some Spring in the depths of the Canadian Winter!
