I also would love to know for certain the colors. It looks to be yellow ochre, burnt sienna, and if I had to guess ultramarine blue and Payne's gray. I am guessing on the warm hues and observing the video only. I am bout to do my own from a similar reference drawing utilizing the beautiful technique demonstrated here. Learning so much from watching. I'd also guess that the very tiniest bit of guadinachrome gole would be lovely as a finishing touch to the beak but so sparingly as to keep it from taking the detailed painting and fading it or making it bleed to a color less vibrant than achieved here. Love, love watching you paint.
So based on her comments on a similar watercolor of a blue heron, it is indigo, Payne's gray, cadmium yellow, burnt sienna , sepia, and Mayan blue genuine which I don't have. I think I can substitute gamboge as a warm yellow and either manganese with a bit of Payne's gray or Cerulean (almost a whisper of it) mixed with transparent orange. I'm likely to use the manganese blue with payne's gray since it's already in her palette, but I am going to do this sparingly also because that blue tends to create a washed out fade when it dries. I'm so new to this, but that is what I am going to try.
This is beautiful. If you were doing a background , would you do it first and mask the edges of the bird? Or try to create the feathers at the edge of the bird while doing the background colour?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love trying to paint herons and I always overwork them. I will watch this several more times and try again.
Thanks for watching! Sometimes, I have to repaint things because I will accidentally overwork the first one. Have fun!
I absolutely love all your videos, and no matter how many times I view them, still learning. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching :)
Beautiful painting and wonderful to see how you achieve it!
This is gorgeous. I wish you would list your colors for those of us who aren’t as color savvy as you.

You could do either. Depends on how you would want to tackle it, maybe test both methods out. I don't paint backgrounds very often
😍😍😍
Hello! May I ask what colors you used on this one?
Beautiful! What colors did you mix? Thank you
so wonderful ^_^
Amazing! But is the face wet on dry?
Some of the details are yes
Thanks so much. Beautiful. What size is this painting? I’m working with 8x10s and don’t seem to have room for that much eye detail.
11 x 14
May I ask where you find your reference photos? I take photos of my country back yard birds but they don’t stay still enough! Lol
