Description
New BONUS lecture with extra resources added August 2023.
This is a 'how to' paint a picture course.
As one of the TOP selling instructors for watercolour painting on this platform, I know what my students need at all the different levels on their painting journey.
Here I will show you some basic steps that will help you understand a formula for painting the portrait of a shorthaired dog.
Why a shorthaired dog? Because then you will understand the process without being overwhelmed by so many other details.
Why this course? Because with just ONE HOUR of content, it will help you to stop overthinking.
Why your course? All of my courses have quality HD videos with clear explanations and easy to understand narrations.
Where did I start? I took a photo of the dog, printed it, as you can do, and transferred it to the watercolour paper. Then watch as I work through each step.
What is also very helpful is that I talk you through some of the problems I encounter. I also make mistakes and show you how to rectify them. This is a very good learning experience for you.
The tracing, photo and any other things to help you are all in the resource section with each lecture. These are all in the resources after each lecture.
Then I select a very limited palette and very slowly start colouring in the head. Here I use a tried and tested method of starting with a very place colour and gradually layering that colour until it gets to the desired depth.
All in all a super little course to help you on your way with painting a dog portrait.
Enjoy your painting, love Nicola
