This yellow Chick would be perfect on the front of an Easter card, or make the perfect Easter time project. In this short video I run you through the process I go through to layer up watercolour and paint those fluffy feathers in my realistic style:
If you’ve enjoyed the video, please leave me a comment, I love reading them.
Happy painting,
Thank you for the video Anna. As usual it was inspirational and had I not been studying for a diploma in Botanical Illustration in Coloured Pencil I would have loved to have given it a whirl. Perhaps, when my course is finished!
Good luck with the new arrival.

Your micro-tutorial was beautiful, thank you! As a working mom of two with a passion for creativity, I find my time limited for “me” projects. But, your website inspires me to carve out that much-needed quiet time! Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your baby, there is nothing quite like the magic of motherhood!
I love your painting style, simply perfect.. thank you for sharing ❤️
Anna, I love your tutorials. Thank you.
I unfortunately missed your last offer of 25% off on your 6month course and was wondering if you’ll be offering it again ?
Cheers
Jillian
Hi Jillian, please can you email Carrie at info@annamasonart.com and she can let you know of any offers we have on currently? Many thanks and we look forward to welcoming you to the School soon! 🙂
Loved the chick. I learned so much about mixing yellows from this video. Those are usually the worst to get different values. I would never have used the mixes you did amazing. You are so cute, I’m sure your baby is going to be adorable.
God Bless you Anna and your family too!!!
I am grateful for your short video, I just tried to make a tiny painting of a Siberian Crane chick. It was my first time doing a fluffy chick and it is not at all what I wanted to achieve. Your instructions will help me with that effort also. Thank you.
That’s beautiful! Thanks so much.
Blessings to you and your new baby girl. Love your videos!
Wow thank you Anna so much you make it look so easy which I know it isn’t but I am going to have a go at the Easter Chick it’s beautiful.. I love your work thank you for sharing
Loved it, blessings to you and your new little too
Anna,
Thank you for the video. Each video teaches another aspect of your watercolor method. Which inspires each of us.
Congratulations on the soon to be arrival of your little girl.

Amazing how those small important details can have such a large impact, such as the direction of the paint brush to create the feathery texture. So important to control the water-to-paint ratio for whatever effect is needed. Beautiful work.
Thank you Anna for the micro video of the fluffy chick! I always like the extreme love of details and precision in all of your beautiful paintings. I live in Arizona and with this year ‘more than usual rain’ we are having the most glorious and beautiful wild flowers show. I am busy making reference photos and some of my favorites around here are the delicate flowers of cacti. Such beautiful colors too!
Congratulations and Best wishes for the imminent arrival of your baby girl!
Love your patient teaching style and explanations. Very helpful and kind of you to share!
Love this video of the chick. Thanks for sharing
Totally great. I’m excited because I’m going to be joining your classes at the first of next month. I have to smile, though. It looks like things are getting a bit tight when sitting up to the table to paint. Wishing you and your little girl all the best for this spring!
I am so enjoying your tutorials. I am a little apprehensive about this one but I am going to give it a try.
Great painting Anna – thank you for posting and all best wishes for the upcoming birth!
This video was just what I needed. Thankyou
I so wish I could paint like you Anna. You are a very talented artist.

Will keep you & your family in prayer
Happy for you & your growing family Thanks again for sharing your talent . Stephanie
Thank you, Anna. Excellent and I nspiring as always! All the best to you and your growing family. Happy Easter – Christ is risen!
I loved painting this chick. Your instructions are so clear. The picture turned out so well that I’m having it framed for my 9 year old granddaughter who has always liked chickens.
I love your videos. I’m trying to teach myself to paint in watercolor and your videos are really helpful to me. I remember when I had my only child, a little girl, was born and what a thrill it was. Enjoy her while she is young as time passes by so quickly.
As always, so inspirational. So beautiful and realistic
Love the mini tutorials that you so generously share. Would love to, one day soo , join your online school.
Looks amazing as always Anna! Thanks for the video. As soon as I can afford it, I’ll sign up for classes. Good luck with baby! Do a lot of walking to build up those muscles so delivery is a little easier.

Hello Anna ,
Chick is beautiful and cute , Really love all your paintings . You inspire me a lot . Thank you so much . .
Thank you Anna for your tutorials. I am taking an oil painting class at a community college and am painting a duckling in a lake as my project, based on a photograph. Following your chick tutorial is helping me paint my ducky. I am most grateful.
