Spring Chick Watercolor Painting Tutorial
A watercolor painting tutorial to welcome spring! With the arrival of spring, new life appears everywhere. Follow along as artist Mou Saha paints a baby chick using our Watercolors in Pans.
Recommended Art Materials:
Watercolor paper (trimmed to 6 x 4½ inches)
Round Paint brush # 4
Sketch a light outline of a chick with Grip 2001 Graphite pencil.
Dip the clean paint brush in clean water and wet the drawing within the outlines leaving the wing dry.
Load up the moist brush with watercolor #108 and gently touch the wet part of the chick and let the color spread itself. The natural flow and blending of the paint and water creates a soft fluffy look for the chick’s body.
Color the beak and feet with watercolor #118 slightly diluted with water.
Start adding small feathery marks on the chick’s body with diluted watercolors #183 and 190. Make sure that the lines are not too sharp or harsh.
Color the eye with Watercolor #199.
Paint the wing feathers in small light strokes with watercolor #109, 111, 183 and 190.
Give the chick some ground to stand on using largely diluted watercolor #234.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and that you’ll observe and celebrate the renewal of life all around you!

The result can be stunning! No matter how simply you draw your city, the watercolor will do the rest.
Step 7: Painting the white stamen
This is the fun part. Use some white gouache. Important: Do some test painting first. This way you can figure out the right consistency of the gouache. Too much water, and it will get transparent. Too little water and the thick paint won’t paint thin lines. Use a fine brush. Now is the time to do some fine-tuning with various colored pencils.
Step 7: Complete your watercolor spring flowers
In the end, I painted shadows with blue watercolor. I drew light areas with a white pencil. When it was all dry, I painted it over with a tiny bit of water. In that way, the veins on the petals became smooth and subtle. They also look more realistic. In reality, the blue hepatica flowers have longer stems. I forgot about that when I drew my composition. But why not? Creativity does not follow any rules.
