This Raccoon is an excellent project if you really want to learn how to paint long fur! There is certainly plenty of it. It is also a good project for really capturing the life within the eyes as the lovely raccoon is looking straight at us.
We will go through various watercolour techniques such as a wet in wet blurry background and working with varied colour washes. We will also work on painting those realistic eyes. I will give you a full explanation on how to paint fur. You will need to use directional brush strokes to create the shape and form. Finally, we will be using watercolour white and painting the detailed bark!
With this video there is a lot to go through and a lot I can help you learn. Fast track yourself to knowing how to paint wildlife in watercolour. Let me help you avoid all the mistakes I have made over my 40 years of painting!
