Students will begin by closely observing the form of a songbird and simplifying it into basic shapes. They will then apply wet-on-wet watercolor techniques to define the bird, with guided instruction on maintaining clean, vibrant color application. Lessons will emphasize technique, control, and thoughtful color choices to achieve clear, engaging results.
