AMERICAN WIDGEON

NOVEMBER 11th and 25th on Zoom

 $25 for the 2 sessions together


I  love a photo I saw by Steve Allen of a beautiful American Widgeon.  I  love the colors of this duck.  I also had fun depicting the pattern and  detail of his feathers along with their echoes in the water.  I enjoyed  this project both with watercolor pencils and with watercolor paints,  which could easily be paired with a graphite pencil, a colored pencil,  or a pen, if you’d like to add them.  Otherwise, this would be a lovely  painting in watercolor paints alone.  



 WATERCOLOR PAINTS: Winsor Blue Green Shade, Winsor Blue Red Shade, French Ultramarine, Aureolin, Burnt Sienna, Sepia

WATERCOLOR  PENCILS: Ultramarine, Phthalo Blue, Prismacolor Watercolor True Green,  Light Phthalo Green,  Burnt Ochre, Raw Umber, Inktense Dark Chocolate,  Inktense Bark, Helio-blue Red
