This is one of the best tutorials on how to paint a chickadee! I’ve watched… well, a lot… and this one is broken down so easily, and it’s easy to follow, without the stress of rushing through it!! Chickadees are some of my favorite birds, not only because they’re adorable and have the funniest bird calls, but, chickadee was my nickname for my sister, who passed away 3.5 years ago. Now, I feel like I’ll be able to paint one in her honor, so, thank you so much for the awesome tutorial, Harriet!!💖💖💖

I’ve done 2 now and getting the hang of it more each time. But your tan areas are so much lighter than mine and my white areas are too gray….so onward for #3. I learn something each time 😊

I do have a feeder outside a big window and yes, there are always many birds of ALL types ( the only ones I shoo away are the red hooded woodpeckers because they are so much bigger and create so much havoc. Lately, I keep running into bird paintings, I think the lesson is to start painting them!!. Thank you Harriet!. ♥️❄️🎈

Thank you, Harriet! My late MIL used to call my eldest daughter her little chickadee, and she values that memory so much! We live on the prairie in CO; there aren't enough of the right kind of trees in our surrounding area for chickadees to congregate, and she misses them so much! (We moved recently from an area where they are prolific.) I have designs on painting a larger piece of a chickadee for her for her birthday, so this tutorial is very timely! Tysm!!

@@deWintonPaperCo Oh ... I bought "A Year of Watercolor" when October as I started my watercolor adventure ... signed from Etsy and it is wonderful. After today's Chickadee tutorial, I purchased Birds, Bees and Blossoms Kindle version from Amazon U.S. The kindle version is great for me as I can work from my iPad via Kindle App. I love how the books are laid out ... similar to today's video with shape: egg, circle, etc. I am also finding, as a VERY beginner, that I do better with a reference photo. I hope to one day be able to sketch/draw/paint what I see in nature but your books and tutorials have helped me get going. Many Thanks!

Excellent tutorial! We actually have 6 species of chickadee here in the US. Your reference photo appears to be the Carolina chickadee. (yes, I'm what you would call a twitcher!) I've decided to use your tutorial to paint all 6 since the body type is nearly identical for all, just differences in color.
