In this Course you would learn to paint a Bird using Gouache Paints . I've chosen a Baltimore Oriole as my subject for this project . Please choose any bird of your choice ,for the techniques taught here are helpful in painting most of the common birds .

Gouache is an opaque medium ,compared to watercolors ,they are also known as opaque watercolors . For a complete beginner ,its rather easier than thought ,to bring a subject to life ,with a medium like Gouache :)

You would learn to simplify painting the detailed features of a bird , and bring it to life using some simple techniques ,with Gouache Paints . I have used only four basic colors of the Gouache Set i.e a primary red ,a primary yellow, a black and a white . Its a beginner level course where you would learn some simple techniques to paint the feathers ,to create depth in the feathers ,You would also learn to mix the required colors , create tonal variations , mix some skin tone for the feet and mix browns for the tree bark .

The techniques used here can also be implemented to paint with poster colors or light bodied acrylics .

Hope this course is helpful in bringing out the artist in you and help you create stunning artworks !!
