I want everything to be suggested and soft unless absolutely necessary. This gives me a chance to assess how much detail I want in the rest of the painting. For a loose watercolor, however I want to put in some detail quite early. When doing a bird painting I often leave the face detail to quite late along in the process. Put in some face detail Painting the face – leave some gaps and fill with a damp brush Putting the darks in the face If it does happen don’t panic! If the paint is still wet a few dabs with a paper towel will lift most of it off. I want the contrast to be nice and crisp in here so I’m careful to not put paint in this area. The only part of the drawing I keep an eye on is the face. In the end our cardinal watercolor will benefit from this layer as it softens the effect of the edges we will put in next. In later stages we’ll go back in and define some of those lines but for now you have a lot of leeway. You should be using fairly light value paint and softening all the edges with water so it will dry back far lighter. Try and fight that! Pull that paint out into the background. It’s really hard once you have a drawing down to paint through those lines. Fight the instinct to keep within the lines Similarly another pinkish red like quinacridone red can be substituted for permanent rose. If you don’t have vermillion then another orangey red like cad red light or naphthol red will do. I mixed my two reds together to get this – some vermillion and some permanent rose. We’re painting a red cardinal and I just adore this color. First layer loose washes Drop in some different colors This meant putting down some dabs of paint and then using a clean damp brush I softened those edges and really pulled that paint through the outline of the bird. For the first washes I kept the paint fairly light and made sure I didn’t leave any hard edges.
