Also within this tutorial is a free traceable of the bird silhouette that you can just trace onto the canvas! No drawing skills (and no prior painting skills for that matter) are required to do this painting. Simply print and use graphite paper or another method of tracing it onto the canvas.
Keep applying this technique all the way up the canvas. Remember, light in the middle and darker on the sides. You may re-load your brush in medium magenta and quinacridone magenta. You can also add more white if you feel the painting needs more white in some places.
As you fill up the canvas, take a step back and look at your background. If you feel like adding more of a certain color, you can do that while the painting is still wet. Just be careful not to over blend the colors!
I found it easiest to paint the birds first and then the tree. Use a #4 flat brush and mars black (slightly watered down with a few drops of water). When you slightly water down black paint if flows better for painting silhouettes in!
The branch gets thinner as it goes horizontally. Note: the traceable has parts of the branches already drawn for you and you can use that as a guide to paint the branches. Allow the branch to go under the birds so it looks like they are perched.
I like doing this to my silhouettes. I think it adds more character and interest to a silhouette painting. You can certainly leave out the white. Basically, I used my #4 round and the color titanium white. I added white lines to some of the edges of the birds and branches. Make sure that black is dry before doing this! For the leaves, I used my 10/0 liner to make smaller lines on the edges.

Kristin, what a lovely post. The two books you pictured have been an inspiration to me since I purchased the first one in 1986. My notation inside the cover shows I purchased it in Toronto, so I wonder if her books were even available in the States in those early years. Now that we've retired to Santa Fe after 30 years in the same home, I find myself turning to her again with great enthusiam. Your own home is so delightful. I always enjoy your photos. Many thanks for sharing them.

A small but diverse staff includes a licensed clinical social worker, a certified yoga instructor and movement specialist as well as artists from a variety of disciplines. And not surprisingly, the organization also has an aptly named Department of Kindness. During our visit, an artist named Antar Fierce, who began graphitizing his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, in 1985, demonstrated for the children the right and wrong way to tag and use aerosol paints, the history of graffiti and its evolution into an art form, including massive murals in most major urban centers. Each class member was given a small canvas to work on, as well as allowed to contribute to a larger banner with the phrase Paint Love running from end to end.
The organization, like many other nonprofits, does more with less, recycles, and reuses paint trays and other art supplies. Donations in kind are of course always welcome, but if you have some time, and could use a few more smiles on your face as well as in your heart, you might want to make an appointment and visit with the team at Paint Love or possibly volunteer. Paint Love community programs are open to the public and area residents as well, often at little or no cost. Additional information can be found at www.gopaintlove.org.
