“Lilac Breasted Metallic Roller” Wednesday Morning 10-11.45

" Lilac Breasted Metallic Roller" Wednesday 22nd of April 

In this watercolour tutorial, we focus on blending and colour transitions… learning how to move seamlessly between soft lilacs, warm peach tones and cooler blues.

You’ll be guided through layering with metallics, adding a subtle lift and shimmer that brings this little bird to life.
There’s a gentle balance here…
soft, painterly feathers created through layering and blending…
with just a touch of detail in the eye and beak to bring focus and character.

The background is kept loose and expressive… giving you the freedom to explore a more painterly approach, using soft washes, splatter, and natural flow and energy through the paint.
Perfect for building confidence in colour, blending, and letting your painting feel a little more free.
