Gorgeous painting and a load of really useful tips to working with watercolour pencils. Never heard of the watercolour canvas boards until I started watching your channel so I am keen to get some and try it out. Many thanks for sharing 🙏
Really helpful video! Thank you! ❤ I had an epiphany with your tip about using a non-soluble pencil. For a long time I was always confused when people made videos for watercolor pencils but sketched in graphite first. I would think WHY? Why not just use a watercolor pencil?? Well, you hit the nail on the head and explained it for me 🤪. I don't know why that never occurred to me. 🤷♀️ 😂Great painting, great video!
I had the same thought. I like that I can erase graphite in the early sketching phases but I didn't like how graphite smears a little with the water. So now I do graphite first, then colored pencil or pen, then erase the graphite, then paint... or sometimes none of that! depends on my mood I suppose :)
The painting turned out beautiful. It was good to see how you showed us your work, warts and all and then how to fix the bits that were too dark. I must get one of the power erasers

Thanks David 😁
I like tip number 1 about using video as a reference photo. At 30 frames per second one of them has to be good!
I need those odds. Especially with birds.
