For years I thought I was doing watercolor right, but it turns out I wasn’t.

Today I’m going to show you how to paint a cute bird in a way that might possibly change your art life. I have recently discovered a technique for putting paint on to paper that works very well for blobby birds, and I’m going to show you how I have adapted that technique to get the effect on the bird you see here.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
