MASTERING Tiny Details: Hummingbird LINE & WASH

Ever seen a fluorescent hummingbird? You have now! 🤣 Sometimes I like to step away from painting things in a purely realistic style, so working with these very bright paints by Paul Rubens gave me just that opportunity. Yes the finished painting is not true to life, but did I have fun, did I enjoy myself, did I use some paints that were going spare - YES! The project reference materials are available from my online school: *https://www.patreon.com/TheDevonArtist* If you would like to paint another bird in line and wash, I've got just the video for you: *https://tinyurl.com/5f69mpyb* *SUBSCRIBE* to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2KsTSS3 🕒 *Timestamps* 🕒 00:00 Mastering Tiny Details, Hummingbird Line & Wash 00:30 How to start the ink drawing 03:56 Applying the outline details 05:44 The internal ink details on the body 09:20 Varying the tone of the pen 11:02 Applying the internal details on the wing & tail 13:32 Preparing to paint and introducing the colours 16:19 Starting to apply the wash of paint 20:58 Adding a watercolour wash on the bird's wing 22:27 Fine-tuning the details on the hummingbird ▶️ *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.
