How refreshing to see a painting tutorial without the tedious real time or annoying back ground music. No boring pre chatter. Just straight in. That's why I can happily look at it more then once and to also enjoy the South African accent. Thank you so much!

[@PaintBasket]

I am glad you enjoyed the tutorial format, there are many more like this on our website :)

Hi Nolan. I did notice how you left the head canvas white for the most part. Nothing beats that white. Everything here is so simple and to the point. Thanks

[@jcepri]

The secret to painting the feathers is to not paint thrm at all. Love that! I am always so terrified to start something like this. I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up big time. I bought some caves paper to practice

[@PaintBasket]

You can do it. Just go for it!

Wunderbar

[@PaintBasket]

thank you :)

[@jasavariraj3143]

nice

[@brugdealer]

Do you mix gamsol or another medium to the paint to produce "fat over lean"? I found when using your technique, the paint was heavy and just melted together, maybe I was over working it.... as you can see, I'm a novice, but I will keep going! I love watching you paint and you are great encouragement to me! thank you so much!

[@PaintBasket]

yes I gradually add more medium into subsequent layers - but you have to be stingy in the beginning otherwise your mix is too liquid too soon. Remember even one drop of medium more is enough to satisfy the fat over lean rule.

[@yuanyao7007]

You are genus, I must say. I want to paint animals too in oil painting, and I wonder is it important to learn sketch first and then start drawing? Thanks!

[@PaintBasket]

it all depends, if you don't mind tracing your outlines, like I do then you don't need to learn drawing first. If however you want to freehand the outlines, then learning to draw first is best because your final artwork is only as good as the initial drawing.

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

Thank you so much for this. I think I'll go back and paint this bird "with" you as I watch the video. Very much appreciated and really well explained. Could you talk about which media you are mixing with your paint and why? Thanks!!!

[@PaintBasket]

Good luck. On my website you can follow the real time version of this class. I use painting medium to thin my paint, but only as little as required. The idea is to thin it to a consistency that makes the paint flow nicely off the brush. When using a large brush the paint can be thicker, but as you go over to softer, longer haired brushes the paint needs to be thinner to flow off onto the canvas.

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

@@PaintBasket Thanks very much!

[@patrringg]

masking tape the bird? what do you use? i hope we have that here in the PH thank you.

[@PaintBasket]

I have used clear cover : www.paintbasket.com/go/clearcover you can also use regular masking tape

[@PainterLady]

What is the shiny stuff you paint over covering the bird ? How do you do this?

[@PaintBasket]

it is called clear cover which is like a roll of transparent sticker. I then place it on the canvas and cut out the shape I want to mask using a craft knife. You can get clear cover here: www.paintbasket.com/go/clearcover

[@sandyfox2486]

What substance did you use to mask off the bird? Did you use masking fluid?

[@PaintBasket]

I use Clear Cover which is used for covering books and lining drawers. You can see it on Amazon here: www.paintbasket.com/go/clearcover

[@RiogirlinCA]

Rookie question, what did you use to mask the bird when you were creating the background? Great lesson!

[@PaintBasket]

thank you and there is no such thing as a rookie question. What I used is called clear cover. It is basically a roll of transparent sticker that you cut out to make a mask. You can get the clear cover here : www.paintbasket.com/go/clearcover

[@RiogirlinCA]

Thank you! I just started painting birds and your video is very helpful!

[@PaintBasket]

you're welcome :)

[@oxee2188]

I have been trying to find Clear cover and can not find it anywhere. Is it called something else?

[@PaintBasket]

you can get it at your local staionery store and possibly even at your dollar store. You can also look on Amazon here: www.paintbasket.com/go/clearcover

[@sundarpunkhstudio981]

Dear artist can you please let me know what covering did you do in start on bird drawing and how did you do that. If you please let us learn that technique too, it will be very kind of you . Regards

[@PaintBasket]

I used clear cover. If you follow the real time version of this class, I show how it works. You basically stick it on then cut it out to form a template. You can see what it looks like here: paintbasket.com/go/clearcover
