Description
Learn how to paint this delightful Red Squirrel in watercolour by following my relaxed way of teaching. I will show you step by step from the drawing out stage through to the final brush strokes, guiding you through various techniques along the way.
The techniques and process
We will be using transfer paper, paint wet in wet, applying masking fluid, paint consistencies, painting a mottled background, forming a realistic eye, layering washes for the body foundation layers, painting fur and textured wood.
We really have to consider the overall feel and shape of this lovely little animal, so to do this I will show you have to consider the shape of each section as you work.
Watercolour white paint is one of the colours I use, I know, some don't called white colour, I prefer to do so though. This needs to be applied to a creamy consistency, so I will show you how I achieve this. You can of course also use white gouache instead.
Brush directions are also very important, so to learn how to really 'look' at a photograph is vital to achieving a realistic overall feel to the completed painting.
Plus not forgetting a handy Short PDF guide for the reference photo, outline drawing and colours needed for this painting.
Enjoy this painting,
Paul :-)
