Cardinal Watercolor Painting


 

 Here's my holiday gift in watercolor for my hubby Sandy Brooke. The red "Cardinal," has always been celebrated at Christmas time. This was a painting tutorial designed and taught by Sarah Cray for Let's Make Art.

 I traced the bird onto watercolor paper using my light box.

I used Winsor and Newton Cotman watercolor tubes on 140 lb cold press Canson paper.

This tutorial was such fun!
