WATERCOLOR CHICKADEE TUTORIAL - loose watercolor feathers

[@maryalgar8779]

I love that you use a few and common colours.

[@sausanTulaimat]

Great job Thank you for your tutorials🎉🎉🎉

[@cyberlizardcouk]

that's really good.

[@terrilikens4975]

I love how you fearlessly create blooms and let them do some beautiful heavy lifting in your work.

[@glenda7921]

This is lovely. Your style is awesome!

[@Celestineofficial]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@paintedwing]

No problem 😊

[@simondo1027]

I love your style...the combination of detail around the head and loose watercolor everywhere else really works. I like painting birds, especially owls. I try to keep the painting loose and suggestive but can't seem to get away from trying to put detail in the feathers.....which never seems to work for me. I am going to try and use your technique to see if I can learn from it.

How did it turn out?

[@zaldum386]

@@paintedwing Turned out terrible, but i learned a couple of things!! I was mentally prepared from the start that this was about learning lol. I will retry in some weeks after more practice!! You have a very skilled hand! GReat video btw ;)

[@aaraoxp]

Muito bom, estou começando agora. Me inspirando em você.

[@rebamukerjee1403]

So you use reference photos? This is incredible!

[@T-roccBABY]

Do you wipe the salt off afterwards or does it dissolve?

[@paintedwing]

If it doesn't dissolve, you can wipe it off after things dry

[@T-roccBABY]

@@paintedwing thanks! I was afraid it might leave white spots if a larger grain were to be swiped off but I guess I'll experiment a bit first beforehand just to be safe

[@charlenewallmark1187]

I am in awe!

[@alisonhendry2928]

Wow love this as always. I have so many of your birds on my Pinterest board for inspiration. To watch you DO it is mesmerizing. So loose and yet detailed enough to please this detail loving nut. Watching makes me breathe deeply. Thank you! One question, how wet is your paint application when you toss in the salt? I have trouble timing this for an effect like yours. It’s often toss and pray. 😂😂thank you for sharing. Now I want to go play and try it!

[@paintedwing]

Yeah it's definitely a timing thing, it can't be puddle wet but not too dry either. I would suggest creating some swatches on a separate sheet of paper and testing out different water amounts, it's sort of hard to explain the right moment, so trying to out might be easier.

[@lorichristensen7427]

Ahhhhh - I love this. Have looked forward to your daily videos on IG, and really enjoyed hearing you talk us through the beautiful and unique process here. More please. HA. Question about the salt…as I needed that look for a flower recently. Once you sprinkle it, does it dissolve? Or do you wail until that section dries and blow or brush it off the canvas? Thanks.

[@kileyfriese4076]

Hi thank you! As for the salt, some will dissolve and some will not. Just wait for the paint to fully dry and then you can wipe it off

[@lorichristensen7427]

@@kileyfriese4076 ahhh - that’s what I thought. Thanks Kiley.

[@mikelkirby2791]

As other comments have mentioned, I really like the use of detailed work to create a focal point and then a loose style for other areas which gives the chickadee in flight such visual motion. I also like your use of salt (a suggestion is to use more granulating watercolors and skip the salt).

[@paintedwing]

Yeah I don't really use salt anymore, thanks.

[@mikelkirby2791]

Must have been an older KZbin video. But thanks again for the video, I do like the juxtaposition of loose watercolor application with the detailed portions of your paintings.@@paintedwing

[@edrisseale2513]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Lppt87]

Is there a special type of salt i am supposed to use? Because i threw salt over mine and it just sat there, like doing nothing.

[@paintedwing]

Just table salt, did you add it while your painting was still wet? Your paint should be wet but not a puddle when you apply the salt. It also might have something to do with the paints you are using but I am not sure.

[@tejasrao3]

Fantastic!

[@MonicaMarelli68]

I use reference photos mixed with my imagination

[@hagarlavie2765]

Why do you put salt on it?

[@paintedwing]

It creates texture

[@margualte]

so beautiful. I start my first watercolor today, I hope i can make one like this one day😍

[@paintedwing]

Good luck! 😀 and thank you

Thank you!!

[@Parkook]

GREAT VIDEO💙💙😍😍. I would appreciate it if you could please add a video on how to create blurred wings in the background/off-focus?🙏🙏

[@paintedwing]

You mean like how the back wing is less in focus? I show that in this video and a few others. I am not sure I understand

[@Parkook]

@@paintedwing Thanks for the speedy reply.💙 Not on this gorgeous painting, but in general. Sometimes one of the wings which is farther gets out of focus hence a little blurry and I find it hard to paint blurry wings with watercolour. I would appreciate it if you could teach the technics!🙏

[@rebeccakahrs7290]

[@laura4562]

What type of salt did you use here? I have had so many different reactions with salt and yours in this instance seemed to be so consistent over a small space. I don’t always get that!

[@paintedwing]

I use regular table salt for my paintings

[@paintedwing]

It creates texture by absorbing the water at a different rate
