    This technique is so awesome! I feel like even as a beginner i can vastly improve my paintings doing this. I’ve started working on birds recently and my latest attempt only has the background wash so this is perfect for me to practice. I’ve just been randomly browsing various watercolor videos so I’m happy I chose this one before I got started on the body! Thanks so much for your helpful instruction 😀

    What a great Lady you are. I am sorry,what a great soul are you. Really I liked your techniques but I never knew it's possible I just started painting at the age of 63. I had this passion long before when I was in college. I use to draw the styles and gestures of my lecturers and professors in cartoons. Then I left for a mechanical engineering degree by my dad and handed over a chisel and hammer. Lol.after completing the long years in service as my father's wish again I came down to my old Passion. You are inspiring and so detailing that I didn't come across an artist like you. There a lot great artists in u tube.but the way you make the novices to understand the detailing no one takes pain. Great mam. God be with you
