Painting a Folk Art Robin in Watercolour | 12 Cards of Christmas No:7 Robin |
![]() |
This is another in my series of Christmas Art Prompts. I'm taking 12 Christmassy themes and choosing one at a time at random, drawing or painting it using different art supplies. I think this will be my last video before Christmas so I won't get to finish the series. This is one of the things that comes from being a freelance artist - that I sometimes need to prioritise commissions and paid work in favour of making online content. However, the more views and subscribers I gain on this channel, the more I will be able to prioritise making videos here! I'm looking forward to next year and seeing how things progress and I've been making some great plans for this channel. In this video, I'm painting a robin and using the same colours and themes as I did in the Christmas Tree painting I made a short while ago.
If you want to play along, here are the 12 themes I'll be choosing from: Robin Tree Wreath Stockings Holly Mistletoe Reindeer Star Angel Bauble Snow Gift You don't need to use the exact supplies I'm using but if you'd like to know, these are what they are. You also may want to shop around for paints and brushes because prices vary from store to store. * The watercolours I'm using are the Windsor and Newton Professional 24 half pan set. https://www.jacksonsart.com/winsor-newton-professional-watercolour-lightweight-metal-sketchers-box-set-24-half-pans?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=9e3cfc48eccf81a0d57663e129aef3cb * The brushes are Sable Round by Pro Arte and are from this set: https://www.jacksonsart.com/pro-arte-sable-brush-wallet-set-of-6?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=9e3cfc48eccf81a0d57663e129aef3cb * Dr PH Martin's Bleedproof White https://www.jacksonsart.com/dr-ph-martin-s-bleed-proof-white-1fl-oz-29-57ml?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=9e3cfc48eccf81a0d57663e129aef3cb And this is the liner brush I have: https://www.greatart.co.uk/gerstaecker-ergonomic-mini-liner-tip-brushes.html *These are affiliate links and if you use them you'll get 10% off your first order and I'll receive a small commission.
