Learn to Paint a Jay in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial

Jays are a brightly coloured member of the Corvid family, which also includes Crows, Magpies, Jackdaws, Rooks, Ravens, Choughs and Hooded Crows. They are intelligent birds, and many studies have been done on them. Indeed, by size, their brain to body ratio, is only just a bit less than ours!

I’ve classed this as an intermediate project, the colour transitions and tonal differences are all quite subtle, and the lichen on the Blackthorn twig also adds to the complexity of the painting. As with all our tutorials take your time, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither do you need to complete your painting in a day, I certainly didn’t!

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting the Jay in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 41-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.
