This is so lovely!

Cardinal is finished! This one is again done in gouache. Still waiting on a few acrylics and the handy palette from Blick which has been on backorder. Gouache is more challenging than watercolor because it moves at the first drop of water, so I ended up learning more about this medium along the way. I really enjoyed working on this bird and breaking down the feather groups, coloring, and really analyzing the photo we were working with. I also really enjoyed that I had the opportunity to go at my own pace to work out coloring and approach and put what we learned into practice. Thanks, Jane! -
@Jane Thank you! I'm looking forward to painting the cardinal this weekend!

Wow, what a project! I learned so much on this one. I'm waiting for my fluid acrylics to arrive so I painted this one in gouache. I will paint this again using the acrylics once they're here. I got a little lost on the left wing's overlaps - I ended up lifting too much of my pencil lines on that one. Overall, I'm super pleased with how this turned out and with the colors I was able to mix based on what I had available.

I’m really intrigued by this process! I’ve drawn/sketched for many years and have never thought about using basic shapes and the pencil measuring technique before! I feel like this process, breaking things down from macro to micro, all the steps we took, will be a game changer for my art. I can see this being immensely helpful for proportions and composition.
