How to Paint a KINGFISHER 🧡💙
Рет қаралды 2,056
Күн бұрынThe Kingfisher was a personal project, but not wanting to miss an opportunity to make a video for everyone here on KZfaq, I set the cameras rolling. My many hours of painting, are now condensed to just 18 minutes, as I talk through how to paint a Kingfisher as you watch the painting gradually come together.

One of my favorite birds, especially the belted kingfisher. Usually the first indication I have that one is around is the sound of the plop into the water.

That's rue with the European Kingfisher as well, mind you, we normally hear a loud pitch single toned call as well. 🙂

Spectacular. Thank you. Great to watch the details unfold as you paint. Voiceover helps tremendously. Great too, to see reference photo during the process.

I was just thinking about the KingFisher painting that you shared on one of your community posts. Therefore, I was looking it up, found this instead. I still believe, of all the renditions of that particular bird, I like your's the best. The colors are betrer and look more natural. I, myself, wouldn't attempt to paint one of those, instead, when I get around to it, I will paint our native Belted Kingfisher, the one I am familiar with and used to watch as a child, and young person. My family home has a creek behind it and a pond in front and beside of it, so we had lots of places to play and observe wildlife. Thank you, Paul for sharing your lovely art and skills with us.

I have seen photo of the Belted Kingfisher, a stunning bird. Enjoy painting it when you get the chance, maybe I might give it a go as well one day. 😉

So beautifully detailed. Love the many strokes on its feathers. Graphite paper ( I still call it carbon paper,) is a wonderful tool to use. Exquisite Paul!

LOL, yes, I remember carbon paper as well. 😉 These are such stunning birds. 🤗

That's superb, Paul. I've no idea how long it took to paint it, but the details are wonderful. Great painting.
@TheDevonArtist Ай бұрын
Hi Tom, it's hard to say but as a guess possibly 10 or so hours.

Hello from Japan. Beautiful painting but very advanced, at least for me. Have you ever considered painting a parakeet? I think they’re called budgies in the UK? They are very colorful and maybe simpler for beginners like me? Thank you sir!
@TheDevonArtist Ай бұрын
Hi Linda, I haven't painted a parakeet, but that's a lovely idea! I have painted a parrot kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNFmdstkr9XFeJc.html but I will certainly put it on my possibles list for you. 😀

Paul, what tape do you use please? Can you post a link if possible. I've tried many, without success. Thanks!
@TheDevonArtist Ай бұрын
Hi Tassie, the one I use I purchased from Amazon, it's called Crafter's Companion, and it's a low tack tape. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NDDZ962/

@TheDevonArtist Paul, thank you so much. You always reply and it is very much appreciated. I'm learning so much. ❤
