In addition, we tackle several big challenges when painting animals, such as:

creating the illusion of fur

painting white fur, i.e. painting negatively and using opaque white ink

mixing colours to achieve interesting and expressive browns and blacks

creating luminosity and translucency by using blues and purples

working in subsequent layers to add depth

working wet on wet and wet on dry to avoid splotches or unwanted lines, edges or marks

using blooms strategically to push pigment towards the edges of dampened areas

using blooms strategically to place highlights where needed

All resources, including the line drawing, progress pictures and the supplies list can be found under "class project".

 This class is best suited to intermediate students who have painted with watercolour before. If you’re a beginner, I would recommend following my first cat class before painting this one as this one is a little more challenging. However, I do paint every step on camera for you, so you receive a lot of guidance throughout the painting process. Advanced students may want to skip over certain portions of the class if they are using their own reference pictures.In case you already know how to transfer your drawing to watercolour paper, you can skip lesson 2 of the class.
