How to paint a Woodpecker in Watercolor & Fix Mistakes

In this video you'll see me fixing some mistakes I made while I painted this Woodpecker in watercolor. Watercolor is an unpredictable medium and sometimes my paintings don't work out as I had planned. That's ok. I can either accept what the watercolor paint gives me or I can do my best to fix my mistakes.
