Birds fill our gardens with color, motion and song. What a delight it is to capture them on paper, down to every little detail. Gouache, an opaque watercolor, is the perfect medium to depict soft feathers, hard beaks and sparkling eyes. In this workbook you'll learn to use gouache to paint detailed illustrations of a Great Horned Owl's eye, a Black Capped Chickadee, an American Goldfinch and a Blue Jay. The easy to follow step by step demonstrations can be beneficial to the beginning artist and artists with more experience who'd like to learn a new and versatile medium. So put aside some quiet time, get out your paints and brushes and explore the world of Illustrating Birds in Gouache.
