Paint a Flamingo Workshop
Step by Step Video Art Course for Beginners
Discover the beauty of watercolours...
In this course, we’ll paint a loose and splashy flamingo. Using a myriad of techniques, you will end up with a beautiful, colourful painting. Each process is broken down into easy to manage sections, and all videos are in real-time.
Once you purchase this course, you have lifetime access to it. You can complete this course at your own pace and paint this flamingo as many times as you like. You have access to five videos where you will learn:
- How to construct the delicate outlines of this elegant flamingo using a grid.
- How to use different techniques to create magical effects, such as wet on dry, wet on wet, blending, splashing, blotting, hairdrying, blooming and lifting!
- How to use colours and layers sensitively to build up tone and details to create your beautiful, finished piece of art.
I loved watching the flamingo come to life on the paper as we continued. It was a lot of fun and I learnt a lot about painting with watercolours – I highly recommend this course.

MATERIALS REQUIRED
Watercolour paper
We like Cold Pressed paper because it has lots of texture but either Hot or Cold is fine. Thick paper ie. 300gsm is great but any thickness will do. You’ll need at least 2 sheets.
Paints
White watercolour, primary yellow, crimson red, cerulean blue, black. (This is what we use in the workshop but you can use any colours that you have). White gouache (Optional).
2 brushes
One round brush, size 8,10 or 12. Any tiny brush for detailing.
