Thank you. I wouldn't mind visiting Canada so it's an option but actually, there's no secret. Some people do amazing things with watercolour that I don't understand but I think you'd be surprised how simple these are. If I had a webcam I could record it but if you take, for example, one of the sparrows:
1. very light pencil sketch so you know what you're doing.
2. very thinned ochre wash. Let that dry for a minute.
3. A mixture of strong scarlet and raw umber for a very rich brown to paint the dark area on the face, head, back and wings. Then using a clean brush, remove some paint on the wings for light little patches.
4. While that dark brown is still wet, mix raw umber with some deep blue. Without much water, touch the brush at the extreme dark areas (eye mask, wing tips and tail tip) and it mixes itself.
5. Draw over with waterproof pen when the paint is dry.

So y'see, it's necessarily a speedy process because you depend on the water to help you before it evaporates. Just practice. This kind of stuff is only a matter of knowing how much water to use, really, and also realising how much work the natural qualities of pigments and water will do for you.

Good luck
