What’s Inside
In this course, Jane Kim guides you through her easy-to-follow process of painting birds. To set you up for artistic success, Jane shows you how to identify key feather groups and shares her 7 Essential Bird Painting Techniques to help you build confidence in color, dimension, and feather texture. Then you paint along with Jane, creating your own renditions of a Barn Swallow and a Northern Cardinal. You’ll come away with a colorful array of beautiful art and a storehouse of new skills that you can use to paint any bird. Explore the free preview of course content.
This course is designed for a range of artistic skill levels, with a strong emphasis on learning to use the materials and understand bird form. Adventurous beginners, as well as people with previous painting experience, will enjoy Jane’s friendly, step-by-step instruction.
Can I take this course if I don’t have previous art training?
Yes! Jane guides you every step of the way and does not assume that you already know how to paint. About half of our field testers had no art training and came away with beautiful results. If you come with significant art training, you will benefit from Jane’s bird-specific coaching.
Do I have to buy specific supplies?
Jane designed this course with specific supplies in mind. The techniques she introduces will work best if you have the art supplies she recommends, especially the fluid acrylic paint colors from Golden Artist Colors, because your results will be quite different if you use other paints. You have more flexibility with the other art supplies. Explore the full supply guide.
