Line and Wash Black Capped Chickadee. Great for begginers in Wildlife painting

Another Cold Press paper experiment from the Hot Press paper fan.
One of my favorite little birds, the Black Capped Chickadee.
MATERIALS
PEN: Pigma Micron pen, 005 nib
PAPER: Arches 140lb, cold press, pure cotton rag paper. I normally use Hot Press paper so this is somewhat of a learning experience for me as well.
MY PALETTE:
Winsor newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep.
BRUSH:
A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained. I often use inexpensive brushes because several of my techniques are quite abusive. If the brush disappears from the screen, it is either being wiped off or rinsed.

Thank you for Watching!

[@howardsmith7261]

Thank you Peter, I have been watching you for a long time and love 💘 your work. You inspire me to have a go at painting.

[@angelataylor2049]

Fantastic!! More birds please Peter, you are such an inspiration, because of you I'm now doing line and wash

[@PeterSheelerart]

+Angela Taylor . Thank you Angela. Very nice to hear that. More birds coming. :)

[@kimayres7749]

3 of my favorites! Chickadees, watercolor, and watching the ease and confidence with which you paint! Beautiful! Thank you!

[@sleepers123]

Thank you so much! This is the first actual nice painting I have done so far. I wish I could show you! Thank you ever so much, I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with how it turned out and what that has done for my soul. Thank you. Truly.

[@kyoatbites7865]

really enjoy watching a fearless painter at work

[@icequeen8531]

Fearless he is!

[@ramonalee1]

Thank you for your easy to follow paintings. I am doing some thank you cards and I did 2 of these little guys. Not as good as yours but I’m learning. I so appreciate it.

[@isalawton6239]

Thank you for doing this little black capped Chickadee, they are my favorite too! The colors you used are perfect... Thanks.

[@PeterSheelerart]

+Isa Lawton . Thank you Isa. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy painting birds. Peter

[@judithmoore8692]

Thanks 🎨 from ✨Bethlehem PA. I’m following all your tutorials. 🥰😻🎨👍

[@chefwannabe1]

Thank for the videos, Peter. I especially appreciate the artistic expression of the background. Received lots of compliments, thanks to you!

[@rdstobbart]

So confidently done, wish i could do this. Chickadees are my favorite 🎨🐦

[@ahaartistcommunication1536]

Another great lesson, Peter. I did the bird completely free hand and it looks great. Thank you.

[@sachinnbeats]

It was so peaceful to watch it ... thank you Peter 😊🙏

[@goilo888]

I can’t believe you did all that with a half inch brush, especially when you went into the eye. I would have broken out my small detail brushes for sure. Great job.

[@margoreilly9881]

As I have said a gazillion times...I love your style...and the fact that you have done this amazing painting with a flat brush, just amazes this beginner..thank you for sharing your talent

[@PeterSheelerart]

You are most welcome Margo. Thank you for watching :)

[@danpost4755]

Very nice! Beautiful painting and demonstration!

[@DracoDomesticus]

I never dared to paint a bird (just did landscapes). But now I have a cute chikadee of my own. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Great to hear Domesticus :)

[@jcfromupstate1693]

I loved this video, as an aspiring watercolorist. Also, the chickadee is my favorite, as my (then young) children and I would feed them from our hands. They were cheeky little things. Thank you so much.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Joan. I've fed them by hand as well. They are bold.

[@elainestokes3579]

Your painting of the bird is wonderful and your backgrounds are fabulous they make the painting

[@juliapace2845]

Beautiful. The music adds so much.

[@laurabe3211]

Hi Peter! I enjoy your videos very much! It's amazing how you get the exact amount of detail for such small drawings! Thank you for sharing!

[@PeterSheelerart]

+mnem . Thank you! Most grateful. Peter

[@grandmabarby]

Amazing AGAIN! And now I can frame a chickadee to hang beside my hummingbird! LOVE your art and you are so easy to follow!!!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you Barbara. Great to hear. I think it's time I did another bird demonstration :)

[@grandmabarby]

OH YES PLEASE!!!! I have three now framed and on display! My kids and grandchildren think I am talented.....I of course give YOU all the credit! I would LOVE to add another bird to my collection. I was wondering, why didn't you do a splash of color on the Wren painting in the background?

[@terrythomas790]

I really enjoy how nice a simple ink drawing and wash turns out! On this particular painting , I cant help but see the brown background looking like a bird, riding backwards on the chickadees back. lol

[@PeterSheelerart]

LOL. Thanks Terry. I see it now.

[@Greybeard1357]

Wonderfully done!! Thank you! Really enjoyed watching.

[@PeterSheelerart]

+Old Man . Good to hear, thanks. Peter

[@petkaanitabielert1179]

What a lovely little bird! I can learn a lot from this.

[@PeterSheelerart]

+Petka Anita Bielert . Glad to hear that Petka. Thanks, Peter

[@adamw2621]

Nice one Peter. Davy's Grey is a bold move indeed. I have never tried it because I think it has white in it, but you used it in such a way that was very transparent. Always a pleasure to watch you. Your confidence shows indeed.

[@PeterSheelerart]

+Adam Wallen . Thanks Adam. I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used. Just something I do sometimes.

[@nomi7519]

your watercolour set is very simple I like it

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you. Great to hear :)

[@edhubble]

You make it look easy - but your sketching is very skilled.

[@katinka007]

Wow, that‘s my next project, thank you so much 🥰

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks! Hope you gave it a go.

[@swanchristine850]

Thank you so much for all your great videos. I was always a little wary of watercolours. Nothing came out right.
That was before I found your channel. You are truly an amazing artist and a great teacher. Please keep these videos coming. Would love to see more bird videos too!! Warmest regards, Sarika

[@maryalgar8779]

Your bird paintings are fantastic. You must have such a steady hand to be able to use that 1/2" flat brush for such small areas. Amazing.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Mary. Actually, I'm quite shaky :)

[@pdjoju]

[@planb4212]

Wonderful work. Thank you for sharing. I 'listen with my eyes', try and learn ... by the way, a interesting brush. It seems in a special way very sharp for little lines. For me as a beginning it is very helpful to read your list of materials.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. That is what I like to hear :)

[@monetcafe]

[@riikkaliinaturkki]

@@PeterSheelerart It is so nice to watch your videos.
🎨🐀When I paint I get a bit exited.
I assume it's got something to do with things that has happend recently in my life. If I'm sad, I get frustrated, then the coordination with the hand and mind stumbles... 😪
On the other hand - painting and drawing relieves stress. Maybe art gives a satisfaction that comes from doing with your hands... 🙂💛
