Hello Ms. Sandra,
How are you doing? Thanks a ton for what looks like a super simple tutorial. You’ve broken it up so brilliantly I actually feel brave enough to try it. I’m on the road for another month but once I get back home this will definitely be attempted. Thanks so much! If it comes out well I’ll send you a picture. Have a great weekend!
Love,

Hi, Mugdha! I want to see your bird painting, too. 😉😉😉
Thank you so much, Mugdha! I worked very hard to make it simple.’m looking forward to seeing your attempt so I hope you’ll share it!
Hi, Sandra! 😉 Well, my first problem would be sketching a bird. Not sure it would look like a bird. 😂😂😂😂 Your tutorials are always wonderful. I hope you are well.
Thank you, Marisela! Try tracing a fat pear. Your bird might have a different pose, but it would still be cute!
This is beautiful!
Thank you so much, Chantel!
