Watercolour Painting Tutorial – Downloadable Female Blackbird PDF Lesson

The female Blackbird is rather confusingly brown, some even have spots and streaks on their chest! This one is a fairly dark bird – they do vary greatly in colouration. The female is responsible for building the nest and will usually do so low down in suitable cover. It is a substantial piece of engineering and will sometimes be used for more than one brood. We’ve found nests which are two or three years old, and they are still pretty much intact!

This project is broken down into very small manageable steps, so is suitable for all levels of ability, from beginners to those of more experience. Hopefully the techniques you learn will be useful when you paint studies of other birds in the future.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting the Blackbird in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 21-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
