How to paint the softest fluffiest feathers of a flamingo

I painted this flamingo 'wet on wet', and I used another technique - lifting - to add more highlights to the feathers. I also started the beak with blue undertones, to create natural 'black'.

I've always considered you a good artist since I first started following you on KZbin. But, you just continue to grow in your skills and I'm constantly amazed at what beautiful work you do. You handle the water so well. You captured the light on the back of the flamingo's neck, and the softness of the feathers is a wonder.

Hi Carol, thank you so much for your support and thank you for your kind words 🥰

I really admire your work and the accuracy of your gestures.

Thank you🙋🏻‍♀️

[@maryseberthome728]

Je passe un bon moment à chaque aquarelle que vous réalisez, j'aime énormément ce que vous faites le flou, le mouillé sur mouillé, la précision finale c'est super !

[@Deehay01]

OMG !!! It's impressive !!! I love everything, the technic, your gesture, the final result ! I wish you could see my facial expressions while I see the process. So admirative !!

Beautiful Floridian Pink Flamingo art-painting, Mrs. Maria.

🦩🦩Thank you so much!

[@sharonsunshine2532]

Maria, that was beautiful. I agree with one of the comments below... the painting is more beautiful/creative than the photo. (No offense intended towards photographer). 💛 😊

[@mariamorjane]

😃🌹Thank you so much Sharon!

Magnificent piece! Gorgeous!

I wanted a super hazy background on it. 🙏🏼 😍

[@rosemarylong6922]

Perfection Maria. It makes the photograph look rather drab and uninteresting although on it's own I'm sure it's not!!

[@mariamorjane]

😃💕Thank you so much Rosemary!

Seca? Qué quisiste decir con eso? Jamás había escuchado una expresión similar. Saludos

[@denisedooley7670]

Hi, do you use hot or cold press paper please?

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Denise, this is a fast forwarded version of a tutorial - so I must have forgotten to include the list of supplies, I apologize. I am using here Hahnemuhle's Leonardo Watercolor paper COLD PRESSED 280lb. Thank you.

[@denisedooley7670]

@@mariamorjane hi I'm fairly new to world of watercolour, what is the difference for you between hot and cold pressed please 🙏?

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Denise, Hot pressed has no texture - it's a smooth watercolor paper (think of your print paper). Cold pressed has texture (I recommend it to beginners) and rough has the most texture. So if you are quite new to watercolors I recommend Cold Pressed 140lb. If you are panting with layers - you like to add more than just one layer - I recommend either Hahnemuhle "the Collection" (black and orange cover) or Arches. Not all 100% cotton papers are the same. It depends from sizing. If you paint on cellulose papers - colors will lift very easy, lastly please stay away from student/cheap watercolor papers 😊
