How to Paint a Watercolour Sparrow | Tips for Beginners
Hello everyone! I thought it would be fun to share how I go about painting a realistic watercolour sparrow. I break my process down into different steps and provide some tips that might be helpful for those new to watercolour. This is my first time making anything like a tutorial or how-to video, so I apologize if it is a bit unclear! Of course, there are many ways to approach a painting like this, but this is what works for me at the moment. I forgot to add that I always go in with a white gel pen at the very end, especially to add highlights to eyes (definitely the most satisfying part) 🐦

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to share this video with you. I visited the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre last year and had the loveliest afternoon hanging out with bird friends and doing some sketches. I also loved their little garden full of flowers, bees, and dragonflies. Later I got around to painting some of the drawings (which I almost never do haha) so I thought I'd share a little...
Paint with Me | Let's Talk About Creativity and Perfectionism
Просмотров 1393 года назад
Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a quick time-lapse of a watercolour painting I did a few weeks ago. I wanted to challenge myself to draw a full figure and interior, plus try out a new colour palette. What do you think? I've also been wanting to draw cute sixties gals, so here we are haha. I chat a bit about my experience with perfectionism and how it is often in tension with creativity. I'd l...

    I've recently read through a book that was compiled out of Beatrix's art work and I was surprised to see the range of different art pieces she did. I also loved how she made tiny zoomed in studies of insects, animals, fungi, and artefacts. It was super interesting and made me value her as an artist even more!

    Your painting and sketch are stunning. I have always been a huge fan of children's book illustrators and of flora, fauna, and nature in general. And of course I love Beatrix Potter. My Nanny, (Grandmother), was named Beatrice, it is pronounced the same as Beatrix, but in America we spell it Beatrice. And my Nanny was my most favorite person in the whole world. I subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to seeing more of your artwork, especially if you continue in this vain.

    I love your channel and your artwork so much. This is an art style I really enjoy and relate to. I think it's so classic and classy as well as being sort of new worldly in a way. Recreating a style from the past almost, into something modern and colourful. It's something i've always wanted to try with my art personally. So beautifully done. Love the vibe of your videos as well, they're very relaxing and clean.

    Hey Savannah, I can completely relate! The crazy thing is to an outsider, especially someone who doesn't paint, they will only see an awesome piece of art. For instance, while watching this, I thought, "Wow how does she get such a bright teal with a watercolor, i didn't even know that was possible." Although I like to paint too, I rarely use watercolors, so I was thoroughly impressed! I think lots of artists struggle with this, as well as imposter syndrome.

    I definitely relate to that, my experience with perfectionism is similar and also I learned to trust the process more. Sometimes perfectionism makes me procrastinate to start in fear of it not turning out great or stopping halfway because it doesn't look as good yet P.s thanks for talking about this topic and your experiences 😆💛💛
