👋 just wanted to quickly say hi and share a new composition I am working on this weekend. Not sure which plants I will add yet, but this Bird of Paradise caught my attention - the coloring is amazing. I am leaning towards fancy green leaves OR dark red orchids.

Quick question: would you be interested in a separate video of the sketching process alone? I am using my usual anchor point method that I showed you in the Orchid video. This could be another sketching demo using a bird 😊

PS: thank you everyone for leaving your feedback on the book topics - I am slowly going through your answers one by one organizing the feedback into themes so I can address it in the book ❤️

Sketching is such an important part of a project - I don't think we can ever have too much help. Love ❤️ another sketching video.

Hazel

totally agree

Kae Davis

I would really like another sketching video! =)

Monalisa Mackey

Hi Anna, Yes, I would love to see a sketching video of this bird! Also, I like the idea of fancy green leaves to compliment the bird since the it is so beautiful and colourful. Orchids might take our attention away from the bird because your painted orchids are so beautiful lol😊

Deborah Cooper

I would live it. What do you think of the graphite aquarelle pencils. For sketching on watercolor paper. Do they tint the paper. Or not enough to matter.

Terry K.

Yes I would love a sketching video, a good sketch makes better painting I believe

Christine Knox

The sketching process would be great to see.

Judy

Yes to seeing your sketch. It looks like another great painting!

Vikki

Yes, yes, yes! I would LOVE a sketching video!

Elaine True

Would love a sketching video

cindy

Sketching videos are not something I would watch.

Sammie Bryant

The bird is gorgeous. I did see two paintings of yours on YouTube, with colorful bird with beautiful flowers. They are gorgeous paintings so flowers would be beautiful but so would luscious green or tropical plants. So what are you in the mood to teach, I know it will be beautiful.

Patricia

I would love to see the sketching process. I will happily watch anything you can show me! So excited to see the Bird of Paradise tutorial as I have steadily worked my way through all your other amazing bird tutorials.

Sharon March

What a gorgeous bird. Yes would very much like to see the drawing process.

Joan Raiger

Please include sketching on all your projects, so helpful. Thank you 🦜

I would love to see a video showing sketching process of this bird or any other bird. This bird is gorgeous and has very vibrant colors. Adding flowers would only take the focus away from it. A branch it is sitting on and some tropical foliage in more distant background would underscore the beauty and features of this bird much better than flowers. This species does not feed on flower nectar anyway. Thank you for working on the video of this bird for us!

The bird is called Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus), lives in cloud forests of Andes, and feeds on insects and fruits. It is a national bird of Peru.

Melissa

Yolanda Calvi

How do you decide which colors to use for your compositions?

Cindie Hicks

Definitely would love the drawing process.

John

I'd love to learn how to sketch, so yes, definitely I'd appreciate a video on the sketching process.

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you Grazyna! I new someone would help me identify it:) Is it still a part of so called "Birds of Paradise" or am i incorrect?

Grazyna N

Hi Anna. I don’t think this bird belongs to the Bird of Paradise family: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird-of-paradise. The Andean cock-of-the-rock belongs to the Cotingidae family of birds that live only in South America. Btw. You may look at some of the Bird of Paradise species (males) and pick one for a tutorial. These birds have astonishing shapes, colors, and feather patterns perfect for painting. Their breeding dances are legendary.

Filomena Hart

I would love to see the drawing process.

OLGA Adams

I agree. Sketching instructions would be most helpful. Also in all your videos i would recommend you telling us what size brush you are using. Thanks for all your amazing instruction and knowledge especially on composition.

MARIANNE DANHOF

Tropical leaves would be great I think ? The sketching if you have the time…. Always good 😊

Bonnie Williams

Love the sketching instructions and for that matter whatever you have to show us —I never tire of watching you paint as you walk us through ❤️

Tillie Fowler

Yes please show us the sketching process. Thank you so much!

Yuki Dickson

Yes please on the sketching tutorial Ty!

James Michael Thaxton, CSFA

Oh, the colors I gleemed from the reference photo look AWESOME! I, for one, can wait for this lesson No 1 to drop! Xo Jimmy

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you James! Just finished the bird:) As tempted as I am to add flowers I think its going to just to have tropical leaves. It's sooooo vibrant! Looking for leaf references atm We've done Monstera already, I need something super fancy but not too vibrant {more like deep blue green for the orange complementary }.

cindy

Hi Anna, when do you think the tutorial will be added? It looks amazing.

SZ

I know I’m already a Patreon, but I would adore the no commentary videos of some of your YouTube paintings. There have been several that really speak to me, but I totally get that you only have so much time for lesson versions. You could start with the pomegranates …. no selfish reason why…. ;-) Even just posting a picture of the line sketch and the final to Patreon would be worth it in my opinion.

I would love a video of your drawing process for this piece! ❤️

Maria Martinez

I too would love a a separate video of your drawing process please

Jackie

A drawing process video would be amazing.
