Hello everyone!

I love garden birds and I also love to paint them! 😊Last year I took a course by one of my favorite artists: Sarah Stokes. In the course I learned how to illustrate birds with watercolor. Below you can see some of the birds I painted. 🐦

I used Winsor & Newton Cotman and Professional watercolors, a white gelpen (Uniball) and some colored pencils from Caran d'Ache on 300g Watercolor paper. Photo credits for the first 3 birds: Rob Van Mourick - Caperelux.
