  • VIDEO DESCRIPTION This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this aquatic bird portrait of "MOM AND BABY SWAN" with a sentimental maternal message of sincere nurturing and protection as the mother swan provides shelter, comfort and a nice ride as they travel through the water during a beautiful sunny day. You can imagine this to be a pond, lake, stream, or the inlet of an ocean or sea. You’ll provide a natural setting for the swans with the reflective ripples implying that they are swimming near the lands edge in a secluded quiet cove or serene lake. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to create this realistic piece of art with a majestic large white bird coddling her baby cod or pen as they drift through the water. With a graceful posture securing it’s child under it’s neck, the tall imposing feathered goose type bird will give the painting a tender feel. You’ll learn to paint these realistic looking birds with dimension, texture and lifelike expressions. With a dry brush technique you'll learn how to create shadows in and around the bird bodies and in the feathers providing shape and form. Inspired by mother’s day, the maternal bond we share, motherhood, and the influence of mothers in our society, this painting will bring a powerful message to the viewer. You'll learn to paint this realistic waterscape animal portrait with depth, contrast and natural colors, creating an image that will have your imagination running wild with this majestic stately bird’s delicate white feathers and strong mom love. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece inspired by family, nature, spring and new beginnings, that is sure to bring lively energy on the wall of any home. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!

    Michelle is my absolute favorite. I have tried many other online videos but I find Michelle most professional ( no wasting others’ time in online flirting with husbands and selling products that we may not need) she always paints with a smile no matter what and she definitely makes painting look doable for anyone who wants to paint. She gives reason on why we are doing various steps which most videos don’t bother to explain in detail. I am going to become a patron soon.
