In this Skillshare class, we will walk through the necessary steps to complete this sweet Chocolate Lab. I broke down the painting into sections, so that it is manageable and easy to follow.

We will talk about highlight and shadows and what to focus on to achieve a simple watercolor look for this Chocolate Labrador. If you have wanted to paint a lab, now is your “oppawtunity.”

In this class, we will:

Explore painting the Eyes and Nose
Explore painting the Ears
Explore painting the Snout
Explore painting the Forehead
Explore painting the Chest
Explore painting the Details

This is an intermediate level class, but I think it is a great starting point for those who are interested in painting dogs or other. I went over some of the basic watercolor techniques in my "Watercolor: Let's Paint a Pumpkin" Class.

If you want to paint other dogs, I have several other classes available. There are classes covering a Basset Hound, a Yorkie, and a Golden Retriever. There are also classes that focus solely on dog eyes and dog noses.

Materials are listed in the "Projects & Resources" area of the class. There are four resource PDF download links for the supplies list, sections of the painting, line drawing, and photo reference.

Once you have completed you painting, please share your work, in the Project Gallery. I would love your version of the lovely Lucy. If you have any questions, please post them in the class discussion area.

If you have any questions, please comment in the discussions area. Happy painting!

Thanks to Tori Mistick for allowing me to use Lucy, as a model for this class.
