Gorgeous composition! I have a lot of Cardinals aty feeders. Virginia State bird. Haven't painted one yet...but I intend to. I love birds and I feed them all year.

Beginning watercolorist here, and I've watched a lot of masking/frisket applications..i really like your ideas. Thank you. After trying and failing to get precise fine lines with a brush and cocktail stick...I am ready to skip this process somehow. I've heard it's often s love/hate relationship with Artists and frisket.
@bohanart 18 күн бұрын
These worked well for me. For fine lines the toothpick in the lead holder worked great. Sometimes I'll put a thin layer of superglue on the toothpick and let it dry so it is slick and lets go of the frisket even better, but it isn't strictly necessary. After a few tries it works well. Also slowing down helps. Think of how precisely you put in the final detailed lines of a painting, and that is about the speed you want to put in fine lines with the frisket. It is hard to be that patient at the beginning of a painting, but it really pays off later.

Beautiful. I heard a Kildeer nearby this summer. I imagine the id0ts in the new subdivision that displaced 1000's of birds and animals, probably disturbed the nest - or the mowers hired to cut the grass disregarded the nest. On top of that there was no shade and it was blistering in Virginia. We used to have one every summer, who built a nest at the end of our gravel drive, perilously close to the road and the tires of cars. 🥺 That was 50+ years ago. Been a long time, but hearing that has inspired me to attempt to paint one, eventually... Thank you, this is wonderful.

Sad. Killdeer are pretty resilient and being ground nesters are often displaced by predation and other mishaps. They do seem to rebound quickly though which is a good thing! I hope the painting goes well!

@bohanart 29 күн бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! No British birds that I can think of at the moment. There aren't that many in common between the two continents. At some point I need to do that. I mostly am painting things that I've seen in the wild and photographed many times and occasionally some zoo animals. I was in Ireland as a teen, but that was before all the serious painting. It would be fun to go back.

@bohanart 2 ай бұрын
Your area is within their breeding range, so you should be able to find them! They like tree tops and despite the bold colors, they are really hard to spot. If you know their call it really helps. In the spring they are easiest to find when there are less leaves and they are readily calling to find mates. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Blackburnian_Warbler/lifehistory

Why not just use graphite transfer paper? Also I’m confused when you mention if you’re using a high quality tracing paper you can get 2 or 3 transfers from it? How can one re-use a piece that already has one specific drawing on it for then an entirely different image?? 🤔
@bohanart 6 ай бұрын
Great question. Basically it is a much cleaner result. Graphite transfers have the graphite over the whole back and tend to leave lots of smudges and accidental transfers on the relatively delicate watercolor paper. WIth the tracing paper you on'y have the graphite exactly where you need it, so it is a much cleaner, less smudgy result. When making your own transfer with tracing paper, you can transfer that SAME IMAGE if you make a mistake on your piece. It doesn't get reused for any other image/drawing. I just throw it away once the painting is finished.
@CC-ho5lw 6 ай бұрын
@@bohanart Gotcha. I find the Saral brand to be excellent at both transferring and not smudging. Important not to lean on it while transferring and if there is a tiny smudge or two they are tiny and easily dabbed off with a putty eraser.
@bohanart 6 ай бұрын
@@CC-ho5lw if it works for you, go for it! I always ended up having stray marks. THe tracing paper is also handy for me because I often only transfer part of the sketch at a time... like the background lines, then do the wash, remove the frisket and then transfer the detail for the foreground. The translucency of the tracing paper makes that really easy to align as I go.

Beautiful rendition. I love all the different greens. I have never heard of an Oven Bird. Looks a little like a cross between a sparrow and wren. Love voiceover description and reasons for using synthetic. Wanting to save my better brushes, I grabbed some brushes from the dollar store to use on a project with ink and was surprised at how well they performed. I don’t expect them to last long but no worries with them either.😊

Those mimic brushes are a great option. They all wear out, but those are at a nice price point and are a good compromise. See what you think.

Lovely painting. We rescue wildlife and love our squirrels. We feed them in an attached catio. Some of them can ring a tap bell when their nut bowl is empty. We have hand-raised a few and they are wonderful creatures. We used to open the window so they could come back into the house but we had trouble getting them back outside. Chasing squirrels in a house filled with antiques is not fun but it is funny. Thanks for a lovely video. I subscribed!
