How to paint a vibrant Kingfisher bird in watercolour (forget the limited palette!) with Anna Mason

I know that a lot of artists favour using a ‘limited palette’ - ensuring that they mix the majority of their colours themselves. But as I show you in this little video - where I paint a vibrant Kingfisher bird - that’s not always the best strategy when you are aiming for a realistic looking result. Instead, to achieve realism, you need to capture ALL the many colours in a subject like this as closely as possible, using vibrant paint colours wherever they’re needed.
