The project combines loose watercolor techniques with simple details to produce a striking finished painting that looks beautiful framed or displayed year-round. Designed for beginners and intermediate painters alike, this workshop will guide you through each step—from creating luminous background washes and layering rich crimson tones to adding expressive features like the cardinal's crest, bright beak, and subtle feather details.

Paint a simple bird with easy-to-follow shapes and proportions. Add contrast with shadows and fine details. Finish your painting with crisp highlights and finishing touches. By the end of the class, you'll leave with a beautiful cardinal watercolor and the confidence to apply these techniques to future bird and wildlife paintings.
