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, _______________________________ Materials ) Baohong Watercolour Block - 15 x 23cm - 100% cotton.
