Hawk Painting - Watercolor Wildlife Art in Miniature

Painting a hawk - short clip.

Sorry, this video is a bit brief... It's a 5" x 7" watercolor painting of a redtail hawk. It is painted in miniature, the technique and methods of painting very detailed and refined (and realistic).

The portrait subject is an education bird from the Minnesota Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota.

--Enjoy!

Rebecca :D

Since this is watercolor, how are you putting the lights over the darks? Can this can be done by using the opaque watercolor straight from the tube? I LOVE this Bird!

i would love to know how you're doing lights as well! :) very nice!
