azure kingfisher in Watercolour Painting Tutorial is Live march 8th
Last year I held a run of face to face painting workshops nationally, focussed on the Kingfisher as our painting challenge, and it was just so popular! The workshops booked out very fast, leaving many asking when Id be running the next. In response to this, Ive decided to include the Azure Kingfisher in my monthly painting lesson offerings over on my PATREON CHANNEL, so you too can join in on this fabulous painting subject and challenge with me.
The Azure Kingfisher makes a perfect painting focus for our learning, with so much packed into its tiny size. It really has it all! From looser to tighter approaches, we explore a beautiful balance of technique, exploring realistic watercolour painting and bird illustration in this step by step course. I must say, I really enjoyed this study myself, delving into such luxurious and wonderful colours, textures and this incredibly beautiful subject. I cant wait to share it with you, and to see what you can create for yourself!
Since launching my Channel, I have managed to do the almost impossible, single handedly sharing a brand new painting lesson for your continued learning every month. It sure is a big focus for me at the minute, but with so many joining me to learn more about realistic watercolour painting, bird and botanical painting, it has been a really exciting start to my Patreon teaching goals. Covering birds, botanicals, and a deep dive into a wider range of natural history illustration subjects typical of my own specialty and work, theres plenty on offer. Best of all, theres more to come! If youd like to see more of whats on offer, why not take a look at the lessons already available and get started!
