Kingfisher Tutorial - Part 1 - intermediate (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Here is Part 1 of the Kingfisher tutorial.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/53840739

This is a little River Kingfisher that is often found around water so I decided to paint a simple splashy background on this painting and I blew the wet paint with a plastic straw. If you prefer a simple unadorned background, skip over the background section at the start of the tutorial. I start painting the Kingfisher at 4.55 minutes.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below. I have included plenty of progress photos of my painting for you.

The reference photo was taken by Hans Veth and I downloaded it from Unsplash website. Here is the link: https://unsplash.com/photos/UVm3RhdOqOU

I've also put the link on the Supplies list.

I hope you enjoy painting it.

Louise

🧡

My tutorials are designed to help you on your creative journey. Any painting you create from a tutorial where I use my own reference photo is for personal use only. They can't be sold or entered into an art competition. I write on the Supplies Lists where the photos come from. Permission is not given to paint any of my earlier paintings that are not tutorials because some of them are licensed. Also, a few of my earlier paintings were painted from photographs where I sought the permission of the photographer. The photographer gave me permission to use it, not others.

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself. This is in accordance with the Terms and Services of the Wildlife Reference Photo website.

If you share a finished painting on social media I would really appreciate it if you could link back to my account (be it on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram) and mention that you painted it in one of my tutorials. @louisedemasi

Thank you!
