INK and WASH Bird Painting (Step-by-Step)

Quicker than a complete watercolour painting, but just as much fun! This pen and wash study of a Dartford Warbler is approached in two halves. First I take you through the drawing stage, which will result in a detailed image that we then apply our watercolour washes onto. Join me and let's get those brushes wet! If you would like to paint another watercolour bird, I can recommend this one: *https://tinyurl.com/45w2xu5z* *SUBSCRIBE* to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2KsTSS3 🕒 *Timestamps* 🕒 00:00 Ink and wash bird painting 00:21 Ink drawing pens and techniques 02:47 Drawing in the main features 05:26 Starting to draw the feathers 09:38 Building depth of tone within the feathers 12:16 Creating tone within the beak, caterpillar and tail 16:14 Drawing the gorse bush 18:05 Adding watercolour wash to the main features 24:27 Adding watercolour wash to the plumage 28:35 Adding watercolour wash to the gorse bush 31:29 Panting the bird's foot 32:08 Creating the plumage highlights ▶️ *JOIN MY ONLINE SCHOOL:* Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheDevonArtist 🛍️ *BUY AN ORIGINAL PAINTING* I sell all my original paintings through Etsy: https://devonartist.etsy.com 🧑🏻‍🎨 *RENT A SINGLE LESSON* https://devonartist.co.uk/video-shop/ ⭐ *FREEBIE CLUB Our *Freebie Club* gives you access to several full-length tutorials and a regular newsletter, alongside tips and tricks videos too: https://www.patreon.com/TheDevonArtist 🎨 *MATERIALS I USE* I am often asked about my painting materials.
