Palette box is a cheaper version of a Holbein offering a 20 slot palette. If honest I have way more colours than if ever use. I often only use a few of these and a version of this palette with fewer slots would be better for most.
My brushes are mainly Rosemary and Co, Sable and Synthetics.
My watercolour palette is as follows:

I know this video has been up for a while. Fun Fact. As a bird enthusiast, I have observed male wrens doing a little song and bobbing along in this position as well as being ready to fly away. It's fun to watch them do their little song and dance here. They are one of the very few birds you will hear singing in the dead of winter. One of my favorites for sure!!

Hello Paul! Just discovered your KZfaq page today. I recently started dabbling in watercolors and I’m loving it. Whether drawing or painting with acrylics, birds have always been my favorite subjects. So glad I found your page. I will be working on painting this little guy tonight. Thanks very much.

It is gorgeous und such an elegant composition! I was thinking if you could link to this delicious looking cookie. It seems that I need to make my painting experience a little more relax and pleasant, with cookies and coffee statt getting so tense to achieve the goal.

I’ve just found your lovely tutorials, but can’t find the Jenny Wren line drawing or ref photo anywhere on your patreon. Could you post a link for it please as I’d love to try painting it but can’t draw! Thankyou

Hi Paul, did this video make it onto Patreon? I can't find it....I know it was a while ago?

@paulappswildlifeart 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Alexandra, I have checked as well and it appears not. I've checked the Facebook streams and the older YT streams and it is not there. I will check out my archives if I still have the raw footage i will try to redo a longer version, but do not want to promise
