Overview

This class will take you step-by-step through the process I use to paint a 5x7 Boston Terrier with watercolor. I will show you what tools you need, how to choose a great photo, how to transfer that image to paper, and how paint it with watercolor to make it look realistic and pop off the page.
I'll take you through the steps I use including:
- What tools to use to get the best result, but feel free to use what you have.
- How to pick a great photograph to use as a reference.
- Layering your watercolors to get depth in your painting by starting light and working your way to dark.
Painting with watercolors can be intimidating, but fear not! It's just working with the lights you already have and adding in the darks. It's almost like painting backwards if you're used to mediums like acrylic or pencil, but you can do it! I'll show you how!
Can't wait to see what you make for the projects section. Make sure you upload as you go so I can give you pointers along the way!
