Birds in Art Watercolors ​

In this art class, students will explore the beauty and diversity of birds through the medium of watercolor. Each week, young artists will study a different bird species, learning to capture its form, colors, and unique features with expressive brushwork.

The class introduces students to a wide range of watercolor techniques, including wet-on-wet blending, dry brush detail, layering and glazing, color mixing, controlled washes, lifting, and creating texture. These methods will help students bring both the softness of feathers and the vibrancy of plumage to life in their artwork.

Beyond technique, students will also gain an appreciation for birdlife from different regions of the world, connecting art with nature and culture.

By the end of the year, students will have created a portfolio of watercolor bird studies that reflect both technical growth and personal expression.

 

Class will cover the following:

  • Watercolor techniques, layering, glazing, and texture.

  • Sketching & painting bird shapes, feathers, and color patterns.

  • Studying birds from different regions for inspiration.​

  • Building a portfolio of watercolor bird studies.
