Overview
Painting birds is super rewarding, fun and actually not very difficult to learn.
Once you understand the basic shapes and characteristics of birds, you can paint them swiftly and with confidence using only 2 layers, and few colours.
I paint my birds loose and expressive, with minimal detail to making it fun and joyful. That's what painting is all about for me.
The course includes printable outlines of each bird so you can trace them if drawing is not (yet) your thing.
Curriculum
Hi, I'm Patrick
As a self-taught watercolour artist, I embrace the beauty of imperfection and discovery, inspiring others to explore their creativity regardless of background or experience.
Starting art later in life, I focus on atmospheric landscapes that balance simplicity and depth, and wildlife portraits.
I draw on techniques that highlight value, composition, and the interplay of light and shadow.
Through my art, social media presence, and educational content, I aim to demystify watercolour and encourage beginners and hobbyists to find joy in the process, sharing my journey with a tone that’s both humorous and heartfelt.
