Hi everyone,

Here is the Sparrow tutorial.

This is a fairly simple painting that won't take up too much of your time. I used 4 paint colours and a small amount of white gouache. There are plenty of reference photos to help you as you paint.

I loved the way Lukasz Rawa (the photographer) photographed the sparrow from below making him look like a proud and regal little bird.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here.

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!

Excellent tutorial and the screenshots are extremely helpful. Reference image is also really clear. The site is so well organised, which is great. Look forward to trying this painting.

Another stunner!! ❤️

Hanna

So cute! I’ll try this one soon maybe it will be easier on me. Thx

Lydia Frazier Bosley

Thanks for the cute sparrow with the stormy purple background, you can bet I will be doing that one sooner or later. Also, since the States celebrates Thanksgiving today, I want to let you know, Louise, that I am oh so grateful that you have become an important part of my life, thanks for being there and sharing your talents. Love to you and your family! 💜💛💚😘

Yvonne Walton

Just watched this lovely tutorial now I can’t wait to paint it.

Pam Causey

Louise any suggestion I can't get the drawing to print page show blank when I print them. I have had this happen before with some of yours but usually can save to photo and print from there. That didn't work this time either. I'll keep trying but wondered if you had an idea!?

Louise De Masi

Hi Pam, If you are using the Patreon app on an ipad that could be the problem. Try logging into Patreon through your internet browser (Safari, Google Chrome etc). Click on the link and it will download to your computer/device.

Thank you so much Lydia. Love to you and yours too. 💕

Melodie Christensen

Something funny. Your videos are always so enlightening and easy to follow, thank you. I find your voice and demeanor so soothing and relaxing I almost fall asleep. You are an inspiration!

Louise De Masi

Thank you Melodie 🥰! Lol.......... I hope I don't put you to sleep.....😬.

Melodie Christensen

Not at all Louise. I love your calm ways. You are a delight! So grateful you share your beautiful tutorials.

Leslie Kilchenman

wow wonderful tutorial!! So glad I found you. Thank you...I look forward to next lesson

Wendy Hitchings

Really enjoyed this one Louise. I feel that I am actually improving with your excellent tutoring! Thank you so much!

Nick Ang

Hi Louise, Thank you for sharing at Youtube, and brought me here to join your classes in Patreon! I really like your watercolour style. In where I live, we have plenty of birds species that I can take photos and made a master piece of watercolour!(I am hobbyist photographer aka watercolour/colour pencil artist to come...) I hope I can reach your stage one day to sell my painting...haha.

Louise De Masi

Thank you Nick. You'll have lots of beautiful photos you can paint from. Persist with the painting - all it takes is lots of practise.

Rebecca Bryan

Just picked this one for my first tutorial! I really enjoyed it. I found the darkening of the background around the cheek feathers, getting the eye to stand out and the tree most challenging. Still working on keeping the water wet enough and staying in the wet perimeters before it starts to dry. Getting use to working larger is also challenging. Thank you so much for this tutorial Louise! I'm looking forward to doing many more! Hope you are feeling better every day.

Louise De Masi

Thanks so much Rebecca. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm feeling much better, thank you. 💕

Lisa

Definitely not a beginners class. Beautiful painting.
