Read more Geninne's Art: Birds in Watercolor, Collage, and Ink: A field guide to art techniques and observing in the wild Watercolor There is a childlike joy in using watercolors to paint. The colors can be vibrant and translucent, lending themselves perfectly to depicting feathered friends. With just a few basic colors, you can create hundreds of different hues, variations, and gradients to depict the structures and nuances of feathers. Just add a few details with opaque white acrylic ink and youll have yourself a birdie with lots of personality that pops off the page. I hope that youll be inspired by these pieces I created, based on my own photos, to experiment with this beautiful medium. Collage Old postcards for birdies to perch on, beautiful postage stamps with birds from all over the globe, interesting ledger pages filled with handwritten lists in beautiful penmanship these are the things I look for in flea markets. I love the idea of ephemera living together with my art, and uniting the old and the new with a little bit of glue! I dont use only old paper. Ive been known to cut up discarded watercolors that I want to recycle or photos of textures that I capture during my walks in town. Everything printed on paper is fair game when it comes to collage. Drawing with Ink Drawing brings everything back to basics. Its the best place to start when youre thinking about a project and not sure where to go with it. As the saying goes, Drawing is a line going for a walk. Grab a pencil or a pen and see where it leads you. Youll discover the wonderful connection between your hand and your mind. When Im drawing, I forget my surroundings, lose any sense of time, dive deep into my imagination, and simply create. It provides a way to get to know your subject and to understand the things that catch your eyein my case, birds.

Step 2 Next I cut out both of the wings from my printed map of Chile. After first making sure that I like the placement of the colors on them, I glued the wings in place using a little PVA glue. Step 3 Once my pelican is done, I cut it out using very fine and sharp scissors. Step 4 On a sheet of handmade watercolor paper, I make my pelican a nice marine home before gluing it in place. I used a yellowed sheet of paper from an old book to make it a little mound to stand on, and drew details on it with a pencil. Then I used my hand-carved stamps to add foliage and coral in the background. Read more
