These little birds are darling ‼Thank you for sharing your process in painting them‼💕
Harriet, Bluebirds are the most gorgeous of birds. I feel I have been truly blessed each time I get a glimpse of one. They are the most amazing blue when the sun hits just right. It’s my prayer that you will see one soon. Your bluebirds made my day today-thanks so much.
I totally agree! Thank you! I really hope I see one too!
Update-Spring is here as BBs came today to check out nesting box! Love is in the air!
I have bluebirds in my garden here near Atlanta and they are nesting right now in their special box.
Oh wow!
We have mountain bluebirds i. Wyoming, USA and they are an even brighter blue. 💕
Wow I'd love to see those!
¡Qué Belleza!
Así, igualitititos, me quedarán con unos 35 añitos de práctica; ni mas ni menos ¡Arre, María!
Thanks!

Way toooo cute 🥰. Super adaptable to a merry robin too 👏. Really great technique - big thanks 🙏 😁
Thanks Chris!
Look lovely, you make it look so easy,really enjoyed .x
Thanks Pat!
Love these! They are truly such sweet and friendly birds! Every year we get them in our nest boxes, then in winter they bring the babies back to our feeders and water source. I adore the different poses you’ve chosen and the blue shade is spot on. The ones I attempted to do with watercolor were not good, but you have nailed it with your technique! Hope to try it soon. Thanks. Get better little 🐶 ❤️
Thanks Nancy, it’s all about keeping going and you’ll get it!
This is super cute!
Thanks so much!
So sweet! I need to try!
Thanks Carol!
These are just adorable! I want to try too!
Thanks so much!
You are such a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for your tutorials and clear guidance.

Such beautiful bluebirds! We actually have a bluebird nest in our yard! Thanks for this video!
Our pleasure!
So cute.
Thanks Sue!
Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial expecially for the different poses.
You are so welcome!
Fantastic fun.
Thanks Lynne!
I’m glad I found your channel. I subscribed a while ago and have enjoyed all the tutorials I’ve seen so far. I especially liked your comments (8:14) about how the circle of water on dry paper creates a hard edge, and at the same time it allows for blending. I can see using this technique to paint lots of birds. Thank you for posting. You are just delightful. Pets for your puppy.🙏💙🌵🌵🌵🌵
Awesome! Thank you!
Perfect ! Thank you !
You're welcome!
Sorry to hear that Crumble took a tumble. Love your little Blue Birds! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks Becky, he’s bouncing back really well!
super adorable
Cheers!
I'm so glad you discovered bluebirds. Here in the western US we have the Western Bluebirds and they are such a joy. I'm new here and watching your tutorial with interest. Bluebirds are my sister in laws favorite bird and I've been wanting to create a gift for her. I think she would love a painting of them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ah welcome along to the channel!
Hugs to Crumble!
Thanks Linda!
The robins were so much fun. Can’t wait to try these tomorrow 🎨❤️
Good luck!
Lovely
Cheers Angela!

That’s awesome! Enjoy!

Many thanks!
Great tutorial, as ever. These lessons have helped me overcome my ‘clean sheet’ syndrome!
Oh I’m so glad Dilys!
I live in Florida and I get to see lots of Blue Jays and cardinals!! Beautiful colors!!! I hope your furbaby gets well soon!
Oh amazing! I wish I saw these birds in real life. Thanks so much for your kind wishes to Crumble
So cute😍
Thanks Joyce!

Merci beaucoup Harriet, encore un tuto est sympa à suivre

So sweet! Bluebirds are my state's bird (Missouri)!
Oh cool!
I just love your accent... and your beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
Love these. Get well soon Crumble x
Thanks carol, lots of wags from Crumble
Thanks you for another lovely tutorial! I like two out of my four birds. Not bad for my first birds! More practice ahead🐦
You’re welcome 😊
Wow what a amazing birds.....
Thank you mam....
Thank you so mach....
Most welcome 😊
I want to try to paint this. Delightful
You should! It’s nice and quickn
really sweet
Thanks Monique!

Thanks Lucy, he’s definitely getting much better
These are so cute!!! Thank you! I know it’s a year ago but I hope Crumble healed up nicely!
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful! And much love and kisses to Crumble.
Thanks Angie!
The Eastern Bluebird is the State Bird in my state of New York. They are beautiful! I’m excited for this tutorial as maybe I’ll be able to paint one!
Oh yes you must!
Love birds painted in this style. I'm getting pretty good at the robins now, but I do struggle with the hens.
It’s all about keeping going!
Great tutorial as ever. Hope Crumble recovers quickly x
Us too!
yes they are!
Hope you enjoyed the video!
Bluebirds are lovely! I recommend you look up indigo buntings if you've never seen one. They look like a sparrow that's been dipped into a bright blue dyebath. They are really stunning when you see one on the fly in nature.
Oh wow I will!
I am Solidea, a lady 70 years. I wach your fine video four birds and i think is very kind for me because i am not picture! Non sono pittrice ma i love very much acquerello and i want learn this tecnique. Excuse me for my school english! :)
Wow, thank you
I LOVE you! I have learned sooooooo much! I do need to say that the Sonar sounds drove me insane though and the extra three times I watched, I did it with the sound off. Hugs
Thanks Deborah, sorry the music isn’t your thing. It’s tricky as some love and some hate. At least you’ve got the option to do muted and you can always put the subtitles on too!
Hope Crumble is better soon! 🐶 💙
Thanks Maria, he has bounced back well!
Did you ever see the Ballet Cinderella - the Blue Bird variation. Those costumes would also be worth painting 😀😍
Oh wow!
Bluebirds are the state bird of Missouri in the US. They’re lovely little birds. I love your take on them. Our robins aren’t like the cute little bird you have. They’re rather clunky. 😂
Oh how lovely!
Hi Teresa from Adelaide S. A. I would love you to put out a bother book with all you flowers step by step , it would be fantastic . I love your work. I’m learning a lot though your videos . Thanks
Ah thanks so much Teresa!
💙💙💙
Thanks Rose!
I love them! So cute - little fat cardinals next?
That’s a fun idea!
@@deWintonPaperCo My grandmother loved cardinals and I've been looking around for a tutorial to paint them. There are so many great ones, but they are all really majestic looking. I just want fat little cute ones! 😇
These are so sweet Harriet, Blue tits here in Scotland and they're hungry this time of year eating food on my feeders this morning!
Love how you bring to life their character 💞
I think I need to now paint some blue tits too!
I’m looking at purchasing professional paints…my choice is between Winston & Newton and Daniel Smith…sets of 24 half pans…price is close…which one would you lean to?
Hi Sue, I would lean to winsor and Newton but that’s just because I have more experience of that brand
Hello! Do you think it could be a first project for a beginner or would this be to hard to realize?
This is a great project for anyone who wants to try out loose watercolour painting. I think the most important thing is to know that progress comes in practise and very few people get it right first time so beginner or otherwise, this is perfect!
Thank you for your sharing, I think to draw a beautiful bird, besides being skillful and creative, the way of coloring is very important. I see you are very good at mixing colors, but I don't know how you scale, can you tell me the ratio of watercolor? Thank you very much.
Thank you so much 😀 It's hard to be specific, it's all about practise!
Hope crumble is better soon x
Thanks so much Amanda, he is doing really well x
You captured them well. We have two different kinds of Bluebirds here is British Columbia. Every bird species has its own call but sometimes it is so sad to hear the mournful call of the male bluebird looking for his lady friend. He then entices her to the nest box (at our house anyway) and she does the decorating...grass carpet... fluffy down blanket. He perches himself on a nearby branch and periodically check on the progress. If it is not up to HIS standards he pulls out all the nesting material and she has to start again. Hmmm...We witnessed one occasion when, the now liberated female said, "if you don't like do it yourself" and flew away. The bottom left bird looks just the like the comment. A little anthropomorphic? And to young Crumble.. Get better and enjoy the attention. Cheers
Oh wow, what a drama! Love your description and thanks for your kind words for Crumble
I forgot to ask what type of paper you used for the blue birds? 😃
It’s in the description
Harriet, what paper do you use? I’ve seen a couple of different ones but I’m not sure! Haha
In the description, I always look for 300gsm cold pressed paper. But I'm not so fussed about the brand as long as it has those qualities.
@@deWintonPaperCo ok thank you!
We have blue jays they are beauitful Usa
Gorgeous!
They are adorably beautiful.❤️ (We just started seeing the Eastern Bluebird a few weeks ago here in New England, US. They are my fav.) I just started watching your tutorials and I love them. I even think I’m going to give it a go. Question-how are you preventing your blue and yellow/orange from mixing and turning into a green in this project?
It’s first about not having too wet a page with the first shape. Then you will notice when I add the blue I paint it in as few brush strokes as possible and try not to touch the orange. Then they blend together of their own accord
Bluebirds are smaller than a Robin.
Good to know!
