"Backyard Birds" is a festive adult coloring project using Copic Markers, Prismacolor Soft Core Colored Pencils, and Staetdler Triplus Pens.
In this episode, I demonstrate my intermediate level process for coloring birds with fluffy feathers and lots of personality. Plus we discuss why it's completely normal to feel disappointed with your own coloring.
My name is Amy Shulke and I'm an artist and technical illustrator in Southeastern Michigan. I teach art-based coloring classes both locally and online. Visit me at VanillaArts.com
