Watercolour Techniques: How to Paint Feathers

Sharone Stevens, Watercolour, Illustration & Lettering

About This Class

In this class, I will guide you through my process of creating five different types of feathers using watercolour paints. 

I will start by giving you an overview of the supplies that I use and then we will practice a variety of basic techniques that will be useful in the class. These include wet on wet, wet on dry, creating gradients, layering, dry brush and using different brush strokes. I will also cover how much water you should use and how to fix mistakes. I will then take you through my process, step by step in real time, for painting five feathers, including the beautiful peacock feather.

I hope this class will allow you to feel more confident using watercolours and that you will be able to create a page of beautiful feathers, that you are really proud of, by the end of it!
