Nuthatch bird drawing

European birds: Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta Europaea) designed by Irene Laschi. Connect with them on Dribbble; the global community for designers and creative professionals.

Learn to paint a Nuthatch as a monochrome study to master value and water control.

In this week’s bird video, I show how you can use ink for sketching and add watercolor on top later. This is a great way to create more solid, pronounced linework, and you still have color.

White-breasted nuthatches are entertaining, cute and energetic birds. Here in Michigan they visit suet and bird feeders year round. When I lived in Cleveland years ago my wife and I used to go birding in a park where they were tame enough to eat out of your hands!
