Hello Fellow Artist! 🌻 I just released a brand-new watercolor video on YouTube that walks you through some of my favorite techniques—and a few fun little tricks I love using in my own paintings. In this quick tutorial, I show you how I painted a dramatic osprey using a splash effect that might look a little wild… but it’s actually pretty easy to control (once you know how!). You’ll also see how I used masking fluid to preserve highlights, white gouache for the full splash, and a template to keep the wing details clean and crisp. Honestly, it was so fun to film. A bit messy (you’ll see I got paint on my camera lens) but in the best way. 😊 👉 Watch the full tutorial here! Whether you’re brand new to watercolors or looking to loosen up your style a bit, I hope this video unlocks some ideas to try in your own art! And if you’re craving more step-by-step tutorials, and personal support, you might enjoy the Joyful Watercolors Club—my membership for artists who want to learn, grow, and build confidence with watercolor, one brushstroke at a time. 🖌️ 🎨 Learn more about the Joyful Watercolors Club here!
