Pheasants in the Winter Woodland in Watercolours
With Winter on the horizon, why not spend the day with Matthew painting this beautiful scene, featuring pheasants in the woodland? These distinctively coloured and patterned birds are a common sight around this time of the year especially in wooded areas around the English countryside.
This painting uses a variety of techniques, developed by Matthew, which will help to further improve your watercolour skills, suitable for beginners and more experienced painters.
