Learn how to paint this majestic American Bald Eagle in watercolour. I will guide you through the complete process from start to finish, working on applying a faded background and a detailed eye. We will also paint a very strong looking beak, and finally we will work on all of those lovely feathers. This is a good tutorial for working in dark and light colours. Black and white paint – let me show you how I use both.
Painting birds is one of my specialities, so allow me to take your hand and carefully guide it along the way. I will show you how to at first paint a gentle mottled wash for the background, allowing the paint to blend on the paper, giving a lovely defused look.
Then we will begin painting the bird. This will be done in various layers, firstly a wet in wet foundational wash. This wash gives us a base to work on when we start to apply those lovely details.
Now the details, I love to work in layers, which as we know is the way watercolour is usually applied. With it being a transparent medium, it’s preferable to gradually darken those layers on detailed, stacking them up, but using directional strokes, considering the line thicknesses, colours and much more
So if you find this is the ideal video tutorial for you, then give it a go, I would love to see how you get on,
