Why I Made This Course
“People ask me all the time—How do you paint such lifelike birds? I’ve trained myself to understand how birds, in all their feathered glory, are put together. I’ve also developed a step-by-step process that gets me from the fear of the blank page to a finished painting. And perhaps most importantly, I’ve learned that making mistakes and figuring out how to start again is all part of the joy of painting. I’ve designed this course to get you familiar with anatomical features key to depicting birds, build your repertoire of painting techniques, and support you as you get paint on the page and explore your own artistic style. I’ve painted thousands of birds, and I can’t wait to share with you what I’ve learned along the way.”
