Draw 6 simple birds by drawing 6 oval or circular shapes.
Add eyes, beaks, wings and any other bird details.
Outline birds with black permanent marker.
Erase any extra pencil lines.
Paint the background of your project with 1 or 2 colors of watercolor paint. Leave the birds white.
Let fully dry.
Add color inside the birds in ROYGBV order. If using the washable marker technique, trace inside the black lines with a washable red to start.
Use a small paintbrush dipped in water to turn the marker into paint. Try not to get the "paint" inside the beak or eye.
Let dry.
Color other details such as the beaks with marker to complete the painting.
