Description
In this class, we will learn to paint beautiful birds with florals! We will use reference images to paint our birds and draw flowers in our own style.
First we will talk about sketching and then slowly move on to sketching and painting 3 different birds!
This class is both for beginners and experts, as there is a lot of room to experiment with shapes and colors.
I will share my pinterest board full of birds, which I usually use for reference. I will also share sketches of the birds that we will paint in this class. Please check the Resources section to grab a copy of sketches and all the colors used in this class.

Hello, I'm Ashwini, also known as Print me some color on the internet. I love to work with both traditional (watercolor & gouache) and digital mediums. I've always loved teaching people to paint, especially the ones that claim that they are not talented enough to paint. I believe anyone can paint, it's just about having patience and learning the techniques.
