I would suggest anybody using the word Caucasian to describe anybody might want to look up its history.

So obvious once you make it clear! Thank you, Michele. Once again a really valuable video. The points are essential for face/head drawing. You've taken the mystery out of it!!

👍🏻🌷🇧🇷

I really enjoyed the sketching process as a whole video. Very interesting to watch.

Great point about writing down your colours. I also put tiny labels beside the pigments in my palettes, as some of them look the same until reactivated, some l forget, and some because the colours are intended specific pieces.

You're so cute with the "posh" palette.😊 I splurged on the neocolor 2's, this palette is a must for dry to wet media. I also like the convenient size. Thanks for being encouraging.

Excellent

Thank you for this great tutorial!

Best thing since sliced bread! Thanks

Wow. Love them all.

Can't wait

Thank you. Great to go through all of this after painting for a one year. Needed some reminders.

Do you have tips on painting with the pencils for a landscape

I will try it please

Great video. Thank you

Wow this was great. Thanks❤

❤❤❤❤❤ Michele you are just a powder puffin. ❤❤❤❤❤ alexithymia, but just love the Atlantic Puffin.

The first masters class did not disappoint really enjoyed the commentary in the sketching process. Michele has stated that you must start with an accurate under drawing and based on that fact I can see this painting is off to a fantastic start. Will definitely be tuning in next Sunday.

Thank u

Love this

I am trying to draw flowers for a friend of mine, but didnt know how to start. This video really helped me with drawing the sketch. Thank you so much :)

Here's 2 mistakes I used to make with tube paints: 1) not wiping the tube edge and cap off after use. Then it's 'glued' on and hard to open again. Pliers can help, but I've literally torn the metal casing, yet the cap remained screwed tight. 2) squeezing the tube from the middle and leaving it that way. Then if you haven't used tube for awhile you can't squeeze it out easily. Now I smooth & flatten my tubes of paint, like toothpaste. I've also used a tool that slides over the base of the tube and helps the paint evenly get rolled towards the cap.

I really like what you said about "painting loose" or trying to paint in another's style. This does seem to be a unique brain behavior thing. Much like handwriting .

I have just bought some watercolour pencils and I am watching lots of videos showing how to use them. This one is extremely useful showing these different techniques. I will definitely be using them. Thank you. 😊

The bird of my home. Newfoundland

Thank you, this is so helpful!

ALL useful! I've watched again and took notes!

Your way of finding the angle of the head and getting that angle onto the drawing is ingenious.

I did No. 7 so many times because I was too unpatient. So I had to learn it the hard way. 😂 Another mistake I did was No. 17. When I started with watercolour, I wanted to have all possibilities and spent a lot of money for a lot of colours (luckily no cheap brands, but well known professional brands, so I can still use them). After a longer time I found out, that less is more... I can only recommend a reduction to maximum 12 colours, Michele has described it in another video, I guess. No. 21: I don't teach much people in painting, but this is definitely one of the most important things! By the way, this video should every watercolour user watch and learn it by heart! 🙂

Thank you. A very clear tutorial.

Yes, I’d love to paint the puffin. In fact a whole bird painting class would interest me! Thank you😊

Learned a lot by listening to your thoughts and comments while you drew - thank you!

7:22 Such a good tip about not erasing mistakes until after the new line has been drawn.

Oh my, Michele! I love this Master Class idea. It’s even better than expected. Yay! I’m loving the puffin. Thank you so much. 🥰💕🐶💕🥰

In America rubber is a condom 🤣🤣🤣

Puffin’s are my favorite bird. The lifetime work of Dr. Steven Cress in re-establishing some colonies off the coast of Maine is fascinating.

I use the plastic Ferrero Rocher boxes for my tubes. They come in a couple of sizes. The chocolates are awful but somebody has to eat them 😂

Cool! Will try it.

Apparently puffins aren’t my thing 😢

Love puffins x

Love this! I will give it a go. Definitely need to improve my drawing ability.

Yes, following along with your drawing

love your videos very informative, thank you.

Let me know if you are going to give this one a go? It may be available in the future as a full tutorial, check the links in the video description 🙂

The photo looks simple but on watching this video I realised there is so much detail involved in the drawing before you put paint to paper. May try the drawing? Never really tried a bird yet but, as many of your photos they push us to expand our knowledge. Thanks. Look forward to learning more with you.

Definitely looking forward to seeing more of the puffin. And what a beautiful photo 😍 I definitely will go into the group and download it.

I can’t seem to find (or see) the “Like” button.

Agree with everything, I used Schmincke Horadam pan paints when I started and are a charm to rewet... they use the same formulation with pans and tubes and is very easy to pick a lot of paint with most pan colors. After that, I have refilled and bought individual colors just in tubes because is even cheaper on the long term... But yeah, that's a general good advice for almost all other brands out there. Great video, thank you so much for this great content
