You're a great teacher, because I can't draw a stick figure, and I still learned!

Woohoo! I've learned a lot. I keep saying to myself, paint what you -actually- see! Wings and tail could benefit from that :) This was a great pleasure!

We really appreciated this class. Learning about feather groups gave us a different perspective on birds. Learning to paint acrylics with water brushes was a challenge. Thank you! John and Ellen 

This class is great, Jane!  Here are a couple of swallows from my husband and me:

I had some of the same challenges with the cardinal as I had with the barn swallow. My initial drawing was smaller than the photocopy and I had trouble keeping the feathers straight. I am happy with both results anyway, and have learned a lot.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the quality of this course. I've never learned so much and enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much. A first try with my acrylics while waiting to receive my order of Golden Fluid. I'm having a bit of trouble mastering the flow of water from the brush, but I think that will come with practice. THANK YOU !

My version in watercolor.  Thanks so much for your teaching.  

So much fun to paint a cardinal. We see lots of them were I live. Never realized just how much variation there was on a cardinal. Had a hard time with the feet. Going to have to practice on them.

So happy with this one. I feel like I did a much better job with texturing the bird this time.

This time I tried some background treatment. Didn't quite get all the colors I wanted but though it best to stop. Time on project 3 hours. Had a lot of fun on this and the Barn Swallow.
