How to paint a Cardinal, Bird in Watercolor Line and Wash. In real-time. Peter Sheeler

A simple demostration for painting a Northern Cardinal. Red can be a difficult colur to work with and even harder to capture accurately in a video.

PEN: A Pigma Micron pen, 005 nib. I'm using a rather worn out Pigma Micron 005 nib pen. It creates nice scratchy, sketchy lines. Athough, I think todays pen was a little too worn out as you can see when I sign my name.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep. **I plan to replace the Fuchsia with Winsor Newton Quinacridone Magenta when mine runs out.**

The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.

BRUSHS: A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained. A #2, 1/8th inch flat and a #2 round. Could not find my finer detail brush.
