  • In this oil painting tutorial I’ll show you how to paint a bird. I've never painted a bird up-close, so this was a really interesting tutorial for me. You'll see what oil colours and paintbrushes I use to add feather details to a bird, and how I use my oil painting technique to make the bird look photorealistic.
    I’m a professional landscape artist with over 20 years of experience in oil painting. My TH-cam Channel is dedicated to helping people learn how to paint in oils. I really believe that everyone can learn how to paint!

    Michael, your ‘blocked in’ is most people’s finished painting...then you take it to a whole new level...magic.

    Excellent as usual! The bird looks so natural and true to life - brilliant. Thanks Michael for posting.

  • @alangeorgebarstow
    @alangeorgebarstow 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As an ornithologist (as well as artist) I was checking your painting for anatomical detail and I could not fault it. It is right up there with the works of renowned bird artists, such as Chris Rose, Ian Lewington, Lars Jonsson and even Charles Tunnicliffe. You could easily get a second job as a bird illustrator. Very well done, Michael.

    Your first painting of the Robin is fantatisic it's so beautiful . The robin was the very first sketch drawing i did when i was a child at school with no help or training in art class . My art teacher put my drawing into the art compition . I had no chance of winning due to the high quality standards in Art . I did won the Art compition in 1st place . I was truly lost for words. but now after watching your video this has made me think of doing an updated version in oil paint . I really enjoy watching you painting the classic Robin . Thank you for giving us the information on types of paints and brushes you use . Thank you it's really helpful

  • @TheDevonArtist
    @TheDevonArtist 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This an amazing Robin painting Michael. As a bird artist (in watercolour though), I can fully appreciate the amount of time and effort something like this can take. Very clever work indeed! Paul 🧑‍🎨

    All your videos have been a great pleasure to watch, sometimes again and again. They have inspired me to pick up my brushes and paints again after an absence of about five years (too many pressing family matters). My paintings were always very detailed too, yet I was discouraged from painting "tight" as it was called, by other artists. I did not listen to them, though. I'm sorry to say that I will be missing many of your future demos because today I am moving away to the woods in a very rustic part of Wisconsin, USA, across the road from a huge wildlife preserve. There is no coverage, at least for now, so no internet, no cable, no cell service. The trees, the waters, and the animals will provide lots of inspiration and peace of mind. Thanks for being a TH-cam "friend".

    Gorgeous painting. Thank you for sharing your technique for creating this photorealistic subject matter. I love birds.

I highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn how to paint or hone their skills.

    I mean it's rare that I'm rendered speechless for the right reasons but this is truly one of those rarest of times.
    Everyone I showed the still to where convinced it was a beautifully taken photograph.. Your eye for detail is breathtaking.
    The wee overhang right on the tip of the beak, the perfect eye and those little delicate feet....... Well...... Its just amazing talent.
    Of course I'm subscribing, there is nothing that gladens me more than seeing someone creating beautiful things.
    Thank you.
