Each painting has a story, a memory imprint that led me to choose the objects that I paint. The memories are varied ranging from childhood experiences to recent shopping deliberations. It’s the stories that are leading me.

A nest full of eggs speaks to me of hope. Here’s a nature art tutorial for a bird nest using water soluble pigment sticks and color pencils.
I have made a complete materials list (with some affiliate links) for you.
Materials:
· Castell® 9000 Graphite Pencil Design Set – Tin of 12 – #119064
· Gelatos® Translucents – 15 Piece Set – #770176
· Goldfaber Color Pencils – Tin of 48 – #214748
· Kneadable Art Eraser – Assorted Colors – #127321
· Clic & Go Water cup – Lime green – #181570
Start with a light sketch of the nest with eggs using the Castell 9000 pencil 2B on watercolor paper.
Start coloring the nest and eggs with the Translucent Gelatos colors.
Blend the colors with paint brush dipped in water.
Once the colors are dry, start adding details, texture and more colors using various shades of Goldfaber Color pencils.
Create an egg-shaped background using the Goldfaber Color pencils to finish.
If you wish to frame your bird nest, trim the paper to 8 x 10 inches and place it in a matted picture frame as a reminder of hope.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial as much as I enjoyed creating it. Stay well and stay creative!
