About This Class
Hummingbirds are fascinating and fun to paint in watercolor with their vibrant and various, bright colors.  This class, Watercolor Hummingbird:  Easy Subject for all Skill Levels utilizes basic skills in painting watercolor illustrations.

Every skill level can enjoy this class.  Beginners will find the subject and the provided sketch easy to use and follow along.  Intermediate and Advance watercolor artists will find this a comforting and easy workout for the sketchbook or practicing while learning a style different than their own.  I love learning new styles in watercolor.  It stretches my skills in small ways and gets me out of my comfort zone.  

In this class, I use Holbein professional grade watercolors, and I have included a download of the colors I use.  However, you can use what ever watercolors you already have, as long as they are at least student grade watercolors.  Be sure to have on hand, several blues, yellows, reds, and a few neutral browns, white.

There are many ways in watercolor to create white, starting with leaving the white of the paper.  In this lesson, I leave the white of the paper, but I also show how to use white watercolor (not gouache) to accentuate the white feathers.  

Class Outline:

1.  Introduction:  A quick view of where I took the reference photos, and the hummingbird I paint in this class.
2.  Supplies:  A quick look at the basic watercolor supplies you will need for this class.
3.  Laying the Foundation of Watercolor:  Mapping out the painting in the foundation and getting watercolor on the paper.  
4.  Layering Watercolor:  Add layers of watercolor to even out midtones.
5.  Layering to Create Texture and Shape (Parts 1 & 2):  Adding layers to create texture and shape
6.  The Illusion of Detail:  The final layers of the hummingbird to create a sense of realism and the illusion of detail.
