Gulf Coast Birds Watercolor Workbook for Beginners: 12 Step-by-Step Tutorials

Learn to paint the birds of the Gulf Coast. No drawing skills or experience needed. This workbook walks you through 12 step-by-step tutorials of iconic coastal birds, each with its sketch already printed on real watercolor paper, so you can pick up a brush and start painting.

What's inside

Sanderling, black-necked stilt, ruby-throated hummingbird, scarlet tanager, yellow-throated warbler, sandhill crane, great blue heron, purple gallinule, reddish egret, painted bunting, brown pelican, and roseate spoonbill.

How it works

Each project includes a finished reference painting, a color palette, and simple step-by-step instructions, alongside a pencil sketch printed on watercolor paper. Projects start simple and build gradually, so even first-time painters finish with a piece they're proud of.
