Superb video

[@susanmartin2044]

I love your videos. Thank you.

[@BirdwatcherLinda]

I wanted to see how you would paint a raven-and it popped up in my YT feed! How did you do that? 😂 The eyes and beak are exquisite. I absolutely love both the combination of your abstraction on the body and the addition of limited details on the raven’s wing. My eyes filled in the rest of the feathers easily. Thank you again for sharing when you change your brushes and material as you use them. It helps me understand how you are accomplishing what you are doing in the moment. My favorite watercolor painting of a Raven! Thank you. 👏❤️

very nice painting ^_^

[@christinebarone2151]

I love ravens. As a matter of fact, I have a raven tattoo on my back.

[@paintedwing]

Thats cool! I am waiting to get my first bird tattoo :)

[@heidiwixson3604]

Hi. I have been following your tutorials and playing around some with the style. Do you have a photo reference that you are painting to when creating these?

[@paintedwing]

Yes I use reference photos. This video is nearly 2 years old now so I don't remember what I used though. I usually get them from pixabay.com

Great work! I think the salt would have been more effective if the paint was damp, not wet. Just a thought! Thanks for sharing your art.

[@paintedwing]

I did not want to add that much extra texture. This is a video on how I paint but everyone has different preferences and should do what they think is best for the results they want.

[@LisaLisa-fq4th]

@@paintedwing your absolutely right! I meant no disrespect. You’re art is wonderful!

[@paintedwing]

@@LisaLisa-fq4th its all good! I think its good feedback for those who might want more of that textured look that comes from salt. I love that look too, I just wasn't so sure on such a dark colored bird. But I could try it out :)

[@sophiacheung1878]

Thanks for sharing its great. Which watercolour brand you are using in this artwork?

[@paintedwing]

I currently use Daniel Smith but I might have been using van gogh for this painting since its an older video of mine. Sorry I don't remember!

[@sophiacheung1878]

@@paintedwing thx it is a great artwork anyway

[@mattsturm9194]

Wonderful video. Awesome work. Are you working from a photo? thank You

[@marymccaslin1690]

May I ask what brand of paint these are? My Paynes Gray is much bluer, and I like your paint choices

[@paintedwing]

I am not sure which brand as this is an older painting and I have 3 different brands of paynes grey...daniel smith, winsor & newton and van gogh. Sometimes the lighting in my videos effect how the color looks as well.

[@suel4269]

Gorgeous! Just discovered your channel. I have 100s of bird photos I would like to paint. Is there a reason why you don’t paint legs and feet?

[@paintedwing]

Because my paintings go from detailed in the face to abstract. I leave out details throughout the entire body, my paintings are impressionistic and not meant to be realistic.

[@charlenewallmark1187]

So beautiful. Do you draw freehand or trace some of the details such as eyes and beak?

[@paintedwing]

I sketch out my pieces beforehand. I have a few videos where I show the drawing process. I think my cardinal video, nuthatch video and maybe my goldfinch.

[@paintedwing]

Just double checked, the nuthatch video is where I show my sketching process the best

[@charlenewallmark1187]

@@paintedwing Thank you. I’ll go watch it now 👍🏻

[@clarisserussmann-lt5iz]

Hello could you write the colors you use? Thanks

[@paintedwing]

Read the video description

[@pattiswanson7178]

Do you have an outline for the raven?

[@paintedwing]

I think so. I would have to double check

[@Mary-se3wv]

I can never get the salt to do anything…. 😩

[@paintedwing]

Might have something to do with how wet your paint is when you add it, if it is too wet it wont leave texture as easily.

[@Mary-se3wv]

@@paintedwing thank you, I will try not use it on too wet paint. Thank you for your reply! 😊
