How to Paint Quick & Loose Watercolor Birds || Scarlet Ibis

The ability to paint fast and direct is one of the many joys of watercolour. It is said that watercolour is an unforgiving medium and mistakes are difficult to fix. I disagree. In this tutorial, I show you how to paint a quick watercolor bird, a Scarlet Ibis, for a daily art challenge such as Inktober.

This is the best painting by you for me

I’m glad you stuck with this one, it really turned out by the end. Those shades of red just grab your attention.

Do you like doing a single watercolour painting in parts and sections...everyday different days...then complete it? If not why not in bits and pieces

Depends on the size. On average, I prefer to finish a piece in 2-3 sittings over a single evening. For me, too many small sections reduces the flow of a painting.
