Today I’m going to show you my process of painting these gummy bears. In this class I’ll take you right from the beginning by looking at references, sketching, trying out compositions, transferring the image onto your watercolor paper and adjusting the outline along the way when needed and then of course the step by step painting which are all divided into smaller digestible lessons.

Because I’m keeping the composition very simple and straight forward, the steps I took to paint each individual bear are very repetitive so I’ll be demonstrating and instructing in a detailed way for the first couple of gummy bears, and lessen the instructions as I go.

Hopefully by the end of it you won’t need my instructions, and can paint with flexibility in your own way with your own choice of colours.

Some of the painting and layering might be a bit tricky, but because, the final painting is very repetitive, I think that there’s a lot of chance for you to improve along the way and because of this I’d say that this class is suited for all levels. If you’ve never used watercolors before though, I’d still recommend for you to take my beginner watercolor technique class first just to get to know the medium a bit more before you paint this one. Or there are also a lot of these technical classes for beginners on Skillshare as well. So you can choose the ones that you’d like to start out with.

Just a disclaimer before we start the class, I will be speeding or skipping parts of the painting where the steps are getting a bit repetitive or if my hand is inactive or off the camera. So I’d always recommend for you guys to watch the class or each lesson before painting along so you know what’s going to come next in terms of the steps. And when you’re ready to paint along feel free to pause in between each step so there’s no rush and you can work at your own pace before you move on to the next step.

So if this sounds like something you guys are interested in, you’re welcome to come join me in this class. Let's begin!
