Watercolor Birds for Beginners - a Step by Step Tutorial

[@rocpaperwater]

I paused the video halfway through, grabbed a small watercolor book I hadn’t opened yet and painted along with you. It’s so nice to be reminded how relaxing and pleasant watercolor can be. You have a new subscriber.

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Aww Luis, thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏽☺️ I'm glad you had time to paint with me 😌

[@artistan_lover]

Your brush strokes are mesmerizing ❤

[@juliefrith1219]

So clever and beautiful!!

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@dmswan3172]

So fun to watch, enjoy your effortless technique. Especially like the monochromatic indigo color palette!💙🩵💙🩵💙

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thank you so much for watching! I am so glad you found my video useful and easy to follow :)

[@drizmoreno6742]

I absolutely love this idea ....it makes painting birds so approachable and fun. There are so many cute and interesting poses I can already think of to have my lil birdies ...it's almost like they could each have there own lil personalities. I also love that depending on the colors, background, and shape of your birds, they are adaptable to unique styles and moods you may want to give off in your painting. Thank you for this cool and inspiring idea

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thanks so much for your kind words 😊 I am so happy you enjoyed this little tutorial - When thinking of the tutorial, I wanted to give the little birdies something to do or have an active pose, I am glad you liked this approach - I have another tutorial on birds coming soon, but this time with Colors and they look absolutely adorable! - Thank you again for watching!

[@barbarajansen4912]

So amazing how you used one color to create a three dimensional appearance and made the bird come to life! I loved watching you paint these lovely lifelike birds.

Lovely techniques, may i ask about the best, most beautiful or genuine Indigo brand you have tried? Thank you.

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thank you so much, I almost exclusively use Winsor & Newton professional series for indigo and cadmium yellow - Holbein for turquoise, orange and pink (those are the colors I use the most

Simple hai lakin agar nazdik se dekhe to kya ye bird shape se hi lagege

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

I think it does, with just a few details you can really make it look like birds :)

[@huyho904]

great content. your mic is a bit weird so its hard to hear sometimes

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thank you for the feedback - I'm looking into getting a real mic for my next videos - stay tuned :)

[@susanellis1828]

Very lovely but I can’t understand you

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Thank you, I am sorry to hear that you can't understand me. Brush strokes are as simple as I can manage, but maybe my instructions are not as clear to you. I might find a different approach in another video - thank you for the feedback though :)

[@WarnerDeArtoisRomanovMiddlton]

In the upper right corner you have the CC icon, there you have the subtitles

[@SarahLapworth]

This is beautiful but it really isn't for beginners as there's no help at all on how to make the brush strokes. It looks easy but I've spent an hour and not made a single stroke that looks like these 😞

[@LoveLetterstoMilo]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that you have not had much success with these little birds - I will try to make another video focusing on the brush strokes themselves - thank you so much for the feedback :)

[@susanellis1828]

Not for begginers
