This time we are looking at a Red Cardinal.
I love recording this Quick Watercolour Birds series, and it seems to be very popular. However I have struggled to record new ones, as much as I would like, so I have simplified the videos in order to get more of them out for you guys! Hopefully the main bit, the painting, is what you are most wanting to see.
This was a request, so please put yours in the comments below.
Red Cardinal are beautiful little birds and make for perfect little watercolour subject,

---- Series Details ----
This easy to understand painting tutorial is designed for watercolorists of any ability or experience level.
I try to cover some basic watercolour theory that applies to all subjects, as well as some bird specific tricks & tips to help you improve and progress your own watercolour paintings.
I try to use a simple approach these watercolours as we are looking for great results but with freshness and excitement to the way we use the paint.
These painting tutorials are designed mostly for watercolorists, with a mixture of theory as well as some how to painting guides. We cover lots of foundational principles to help students progress their painting.
