VIDEO DESCRIPTION
This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint these beautiful birds sitting on natural stumps under a blossoming tree. You'll learn how to paint this image of "Blossoming Blue Birds" that is realistic and has dimension. Using only 3 brushes and 8 colors we'll create these magnificent male Blue Birds with fluffy feathers and brilliant colors nestled under a spring tree with a natural abstract background that provides the illusion of a morning sky with gentle clouds, mist or fog, lifting off of the ground. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
