    You are so easy to follow and understand. Your videos are amazing and you’re painting are so beautiful. Thank you for helping me get started on painting with watercolours.

    I have done a lot of work with charcoal and pastel in the past but new to watercolor. I have just fallen in love with it. Your tutorials are so great to follow--you go "slow" and give straight forward explanations of your techniques without over talking it. So very glad I found your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing your skills with others!

    You nailed the tutorial 100%. No background noise, closed caption, pleasant voice, great info and last but not least, your amazing artwork! I hope there will be many more tutorials on the horizon.

    I love chickadees; they eat right out of my hands. My watercolors arrived in the mail last night and I can't wait to try this. THank you for including your sketching as well as the painting; I love that as I need all the help I can get, lol.

    I'm generally not one to be painting birds but I enjoyed watching your demonstration. I also prefer to do a lot of my own mixing of greys and other shades.

    I like to use watercolor pencils to sketch my drawings first. They are a bit expensive, but if you are using them to sketch and / or add a little pigment to areas you want, then they will last a long long while. Just in case anyone was wondering ways to sketch without pencil marks underneath. 👌

    @thesketchylittlebird 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Emily, I just wanted to say thank you for showing the entire process from start to finish. Most watercolor tutorials I've seen already have the sketch done in advance, and while I understand why they do that, I really appreciate that you showed the sketching aspect as well. I've been struggling with bird feathers, and this was very helpful to see your initial markings laid down and then how you painted them.

    I absolutely love this tutorial! I’ve painted for only a month but I felt that I wanted to learn something different than just landscapes and this is perfect! I would love a “learn to paint birds” series that starts really simple and slowly gets more and more detailed😊 I now you have a lot of fabulous bird tutorials already but a bit more structured and class like. “This week practice on these birds and this and that”
    I love your videos 😊😍

    The lighntess of the colour really supports this feather weight creatures - I think they might end up beingt too "heavy" optically using oils.

    I have trouble making eyes look just right, as you did with his gaze. The whole personality of any animal is reflected in their eyes: the light, the angle of the look, etc... Do you have any advice?

    • @EmilyOlsonArt
      @EmilyOlsonArt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it just comes down to really studying your reference and noting both the eye shape and the location of the highlight within the eye, and then very careful drawing with the paint. :-)
