In this video, we'll make a brush drawing of a hummingbird. It's often helpful to have a second sheet of paper to test colors and practice brush marks before you use them in your actual brush dry. Let's mix an olive green using ultra marine blue, a little bit of our yellow, and a bit of burnt sienna or burnt umber to gray it down. I test the color on my test sheet. It's hard to tell with it full strength so I use a little bit of water to dilute it and see if I like the color. Now I'm going to use the drag and press brush mark that we used before. This might work for the hummingbird, but I think adding a little twist of the wrist at the end will work better. I like that stroke better so I go to my actual brush drawing. Drag for the long bill, press and twist for the head. Now I'm practicing the brush stroke I'm going to use for the body. This is basically press drag and lift. And I like that so I bring it over onto my actual drawing. Press drag and lift. Now a little flick of the wrist for the tail. With the wings I'll use a larger wrist flick. Press and flick and for the second wing press flick your wrist. I think that works so I'll go to the actual hummingbird and make those two strokes. And the second one's a little bit narrow so I added another small wrist flick just to thicken that wing a bit. Now I'm mixing a pale green with a little bit more brown in it for the belly. Again this will be a press drag and lift shape just a little bit smaller than the body shape. Press drag and lift. There's a little bit of a curve in that one too. Now let's make it a ruby throw hummingbird. It will take a little bit of our coenacridorwood rows and make a stroke. The brush turned slightly to the side and a little wrist flick. And I have to practice that one a few times before I think I like it. But I think that works. Finally I'm mixing a dark gray from Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna or Burk Umber. I'm going to make a little dot for the eye. And there is our brush drawing a hummingbird. Remember you can download photographs of the finished exercises from our website so that you can study them as you practice.
