Watercolor NO DRAWING Red Cardinal Bird and Berries - Winter Holiday Season Christmas Painting Idea

Follow me painting in watercolor without any drawing or sketching :) Here I show how I paint a beautiful red cardinal bird sitting on a branch with red berries. Limited color palettes: bright red or orange, darker red, dark brown such as burnt umber or burnt sienna, yellow ochre or any brown suitable for a tree branch, dark tint (such as neutral tint or black) and tiny bit of white gouache for accent. A lovely painting and relaxing to do, also an idea for beautiful handmade Christmas, Season's greetings and Holiday season cards.

Perfect! I have 2 families of cardinals in my garden. ( I live in Georgia, USA) They come play in the birdbath. I will certainly paint this. Thank you!

Wow, that's so special! They're beautiful and quite a character as I learned it, must be so lovely to have them around. Glad you like the painting, have fun!
