#watercolorbird #watercolortutorial #advancedwatercolor
Everything I've learned about painting watercolor birds in one video 🦜 with a special focus on color temperature (and how we can use warm and cool greens for a more realistic watercolor painting). Enjoy! 💜 REAL-TIME (normal speed) version of this video, along with extra commentary, black & white outlines, is available on my PATREON feed:   / annabucciarelli

🎨 WATERCOLOR SUPPLIES:
PAPER: Arches Cold Pressed 140lbs 100% cotton paper block, 12 x 12 inches
BRUSHES: mostly Escoda Reserva in size #3, and Raphael synthetic size #0

🎨 PIGMENTS:
Please note, You only need 1 pigment for each color category. The rest is simply for fun - a stylistic choice where I extend my palette. Matching my pigments precisely is not essential to the success of your painting.

GREEN-ish YELLOW
I am using: Phthalo Yellow Green from DS. Alternatives: Mix Phthalo Green Yellow Shade with Hansa Yellow Light

BASE NATURAL GREENs
I am using: Hookers Green from DS and Sap Green from QOR. Alternatives: Mix Phthalo Green Yellow Shade or Phthalo Green Blue Shade with different proportions of Quinacridone Burned Orange and Nickel Azo Yellow.

COOL BLUE-ish GREENs
I am using: Phthalo Green Blue Shade from W&N and Phthalo Blue Green Shade from QOR. Alternatives: Use only Phthalo Blue Green Shade from any brand.

WARM YELLOW-ish GREEN
I am using: Olive Green from DS and Green Gold from QOR. Alternatives: Mix your own Olive Green by using French Ultramarine, Raw Sienna and Hansa Yellow Medium.

WARM REDS
I am using: Quinacridone Red QOR, Quinacridone Coral DS, and Winsor Orange Red Shade W&N (only on the eye). Alternatives: Stick to one warm or medium red of your choice. For darker red shadows on the beak simply add purple or blue to your red.

DARKs. I am using: Indigo DS and Perylene Green DS. Alternatives: Use only Indigo DS, or Payne's Gray DS, or Deep Sap Green DS. Use black only as a last resort

OPTIONAL: I am using: Dioxazine Purple QOR and Perylene Violet DS
