Mesmerizing. I think the secret to lifelike birds and animals is in the eyes. Great tips I’d never figure out on my own!

[@katrinacrouch]

Thank you! The “lift” trick for watercolor is a game changer

[@allisonjames2923]

The eyes are probably the most fundamental part of realism of the bird so thank you so much for these tips.

[@katrinacrouch]

Yes! It makes such a difference if you can get away from those creepy dead looking eyes!

[@Liz.4485]

Wonderful explanation of bird eyes! Very easy to follow thank you!

[@katrinacrouch]

Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful ❤️

[@sherryfurr9115]

Outstanding tutorial. That makes the most realistic eye. Thank you for sharing this.

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh wonderful to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed it

[@unscribble7975]

Katrina this was so helpful! I've just started painting birds so this was very timely. Thank you...the bird is beautiful.

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh I’m so glad! I was so embarrassed when I accidentally left it out of my previous video but it made for a fun mini-tutorial!

[@joanm955]

So beautiful! Very helpful. Would LOVE to see a full video on this bird 💕

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh thank you! I’ll definitely add it to my list of tutorial ideas! This little color test failed but I think I can fix it for a full tutorial! Thank you for the feedback 💕

[@darlene6969]

This is the one I saw on pinterest, and it is going to come I handy as I do a lot of pet portraits. The eye pops in the right way.

[@katrinacrouch]

Yes! It applies across the board-especially dogs too! I suppose I should make a version featuring a dog eye but I would use mostly the same process

[@margarethernandez6006]

Awesome tutorial!

Beautiful, beautiful work! I think your tutorials so well done. You explain things so well and make everything seem completely do-able. Thank you for taking time to share your time and talent with us. I'll be looking forward to all future projects!!

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh thank you! That is my mission, so your comment means a lot to me! I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of ages in the past and I think teaching the little ones helped to give me practice breaking things down so that they are understandable 💕

Congratulations

[@katrinacrouch]

Thank you, Jerry!

[@amanda-kristineberg5074]

Love your work! I have some problems with the pigment on the "Hermatite Genuine" and was wondering how much water you use on the paint to make it as pigmented as you? I feel like it doesn't want to be dark without being sticky ..

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh no! I’m so sorry you are having trouble… I mostly just let the water sit on the pan for a little before I begin painting or pour out fresh paint. But no, I don’t use a lot of water with it. It’s granular, so extra water can cause the pigment to move around and settle unevenly.

[@CLOUDSINTHEKITCHEN]

Congrats on your shop!!! I am definitely have a go. Do you think you can hook me up with the link of the flowers and bird painting? thanks !
