How to Paint Birds in Watercolor. Part II

This post is sequel of the previous tutorial on my blog “How to paint birds in watercolor” Part I

In this tutorial you will learn how to draw chickadees!

It`s best to have a model, whether it`s a real bird on your window or just a photo.

Sketch the bird with a pencil. At this point you can make changes so don`t be afraid to use the rubber! It`s important to have fine lines of your bird.

I started with the cup first. You can have your own composition. You might want to draw only a bird, or a bird on a branch. Of course you can start with applying paint on the bird. It`s up to you!

Apply the main colours of the bird first.

Here are the steps of painting the bird.

Once your design is finished you can have it printed on different items. If you want to have my design on a mug,T-shirt, phone case, check out my shop from here.

Thank you for reading my tutorial. More photos and insights you can see in my blog post.

Colorfully yours,
