Blue Tit Painting

 This is a "Blue Tit," found in the UK. My painting is from a tutorial by Paul Clark. I transferred the template provided by the artist onto my Canson 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper, using my light box.

I painted the  bird using Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes. I enhanced the painting using a white General's Pastel Chalk Pencil and a blade to scrape some highlights into the paper for the feathers.

This painting was definitely a challenge, but I am very happy with it!
