Painting a Blue Jay – Watercolor Demonstration

blue jay yt

I’ve found a few bird painting videos that I recorded a while ago and then forgot about (2020 is a huge blur in my memory).
The first one I’ll share is a painting demo for a blue jay – an exceptionally beautiful bird with an interesting range of blues in the plumage. I decided to make this painting demo a study of the blues in my extended palette. Hope you enjoy this one!
