Pheasant Feather PDF

Description

Learn how to Paint a Feather in Watercolor with a Step by Step PDF Tutorial

The pheasant has an extremely long tail in comparison to its body and highly patterned feathers. This particular feather, probably from a female, has beautiful colouration and shape and is most likely from the wing. They are shed after breeding all ready for a set of fresh new, undamaged feathers to grow and replace them.

This is an ideal tutorial for someone just starting out with watercolour. There is no need to produce a complicated outline drawing and we have very few colours in our palette. In addition there are limited stages to the process. However, at the same time this lesson really encourages you to look at how feathers are made up. In turn this will help with bird projects where you are painting multiple feathers. You can also use the techniques learnt to paint any feather, just change the colours as needed or just have fun like these feathers.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this feather in a matter of minutes. There’s no need to even wait for the post to arrive. You will receive a 13 page PDF document, set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get 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.
