Learn to Paint Feathers with Watercolors!

We used Dr Ph Martins paints and a round 2 and 6 brush.

This was fun. It was so weird to see Sarah painting and not hear Michael or Keenan in the background and their banter. Thanks for another great tutorial! Its also fun to go back and watch these old videos.

This is super helpful. Gonna practice painting my lovebird’s molted feathers now

Sarah, I am so happy I discovered you and your tutorials. I enjoy both formats of tutorials - the live ones make a night or afternoon out of a project, but this format definitely makes it easier to really observe your techniques and implement them at home. Thanks for making watercolor more accessible and so much fun!

Thank you for asking about the style of filming. I enjoy the banter between you and the camera guy. I almost thought you were sick this time because it wasn’t as light hearted. Keep being you 😊

Loving the monthly kits! As a beginner, it is so nice to have a watercolor project that is planned out with all the supplies needed to recreate it! And then to have a real time video! What a wonderful business model! I see great success for you and your family business :)

Thanks for sharing this. I love the way you do steps!! I’m so happy I found you!

This is my first attempt at a Let's Make Art project, and I have to say that I love this tutorial style. I am left handed and it's actually easier for me to paint right to left so I don't smear the painting. It was very east to start with the last feather and work my way backward. (I guess I could have made the painting a mirror image of yours but I like the order this way!) Thank you!

[marilynnjefferson]

Thank you for your calm way of teaching. It is easy to watch and follow. You make me feel I can do this!

[brendafayard]

Thank you for your tutorials! Both of them! I only recently found you and have painted more with you than I have with any of the other tutorials I have been to take anything away from the others...it is just what I have found as a much simpler, easy, nonscary (is that an accepted word?). Just want to say thank you and please keep both tutorials. With you alone and with students. Just Thank you !

This was very helpful I started getting your monthly subscription and I must say I love them. I like how you taught the feathers now Im going to go try them and have my sister try them to. I do like how you use canson xl paper as everyone in my watercolor groups rave about arches and I love arches but I have like 8 pads of the canson xl and want to use them. I am loving your tutorials. I like this tutorial there is no busyness around it and its easier to learn if that made any sense. Thanks again for spending your time teaching all of us. Your a gem in this world of many selfish people. Your much appreciated Thankyou and it was a joy to speak with you on the phone not long ago. Your so sweet Your tutorials are easy to follow and a joy to watch. Thank you again You inspire me and that makes me want to continue learning. Again your a real gem in this world. Keep it up

I love this tutorial! I just watched the speckled eggs and the heirloom carrots. I love this style of tutorials it is very similar to Creative Bug’s style and I find it is a very easy style of learning. Not scary at all & it made me want to sit down and give it a try. I love how my heirloom carrots turned out! It is exactly the type of watercolor tutorials I was looking for. I love the banter between you and the cameraman & you are very witty. I was laughing the whole time while I was painting. Thank you so much! It was so fun! And I will keep watching and painting! 😁

Love this tutorial. I like that its short and snappy and I get 4 gorgeous feathers at the end of it!

[KittehNow]

Excellent, fun, beautiful and doable

[catherineheleniak]

Sarah, I am new to your tutorials but am so happy to have found you! Like someone else mentioned, I did think that you might not be feeling well in this tutorial. I was happy to hear that you were not and that the change in style was intentional. However, I love your personality and missed your chatty banter. I think somewhere in the middle between that style and this one would be perfect, but the bottom line is that you are a wonderful teacher! I have had a hankering to learn watercolor techniques for years and you make it so simple, enjoyable and fulfilling! Thank you!

[shellysutherland]

In this video Sarah asks if we liked the “old style“ of tutorial better. I have not watched many and I don’t know which ones came before this, but I definitely liked the style of the watermelon slices and the hollyhocks better. I did watch all the beginner tutorials and liked those better too. The ones where she interacts with the cameraman are more fun.

Love the way you teach your lessons! Thanks to you, my feathers actually look like feathers and more importantly, I can feel successful!
