1. Introduction: Hi, my name is Alexandrina, and I'm a watercolor artist. I invite you to explore this beautiful world
of watercolo with me. In this class, we'll be painting four adorable baby animals, a little panda, a lamb, a bunny, and a happy piglet. These sweet illustrations can make a lovely hand
painted postcard, a charming decoration
for a nursery or simply a fun painting
project to enjoy. The best part, you
can paint all of these animals using
just three colors. We'll start by creating
a simple sketch and then move on to
painting step by step. As your class project, you can choose to paint one, a few or all of these animals by following my easy to
follow instructions. Grab your brushes,
prepare your watercolors, and I hope to see
you in the class.
2. Art Materials: Hello, and welcome to the class. In this class, we will paint
four baby animals, and, of course, you can choose which ones you want to
paint as a class project. We will follow simple steps, starting from building, sketch and moving to
the painting part. I will use a limited palette, and I will show you the colors and materials I'm going to use. 100% cotton paper, 300 J
sem, cold press texture. You can use any
paper that you like, make sure it's not
less than 300 JaseM. Two brushes, number
four by ScuderRsera, round brush with a pointy end, and a little brush for details. I have double zero by papio, three main watercolors, raw
Umba ruby, and paints gray. I will use these three colors for painting almost
all the projects. But for the bunny, I add also
yellow ca and green Umba. Additionally, I will use kneadable eraser for
removing pencil lines, pencil, I have mechanic one. I have ceramic
palettes, paper, towel, glass of water, and
that's basically it. Let me show you the colors
watches I will use. I will use three main colors, a Umba ruby, and Pains gray. In the description
of this class, you will see the pigments
inside these colors so you can replace these colors by the ones you have
in your palette. Raw Umber is close
to yellow Oca, but it has more natural
brownish shade and less yellow. Ruby can be replaced by A lazarin crimson or any
other cold red shade. You see it has a little
pinkish color inside, and it's perfect for
color mixes I will use. And Pains Gray it's a
neutral dark shade that I can use for painting the
eyes and for the color mixes. Pains gray creates
very nice mixes with raw umba or yellow
ocha or burnt sienna. Also a nice color as an alternative for
a Umber is Rosanna. If you have it in your
palette, it's perfect. You can just use this one. Now, I also want to show you
the swatches of yellow Oka and green Umba that I will
use for the Bani project. And if you don't
have these colors, don't worry. It's okay. You can just use a natural stone that you
have in your palette. Green Umba is a very
neutral earth tone that I will use as a first
layer for painting the bunny. Yellow ka is more common
colour than green Umba, so if you have this color, I will show you how to mix
fade close to green Umba. First, I'm placing yellow
ocha on the palette, and I add a little
bit of pains gray. The color I cut becomes more
green, and to balance it, I add a little bit of ruby, creating more brownish shade. If I will add more ruby, it will be even more brown. If I will add a
bit of pains gray, it will be more cold. This is just one way on how you can mix this neutral
brown shade. You can join my
color mixing class to understand color mixing and color theory more and to practice in color
mixing techniques. So let's compare this color to the original colors I
have in my palette, and I think that
this shade that I mixed will be close to
raw Umba actually, yeah. That's right. It
looks very similar. And if I will add a little
bit more pink gray, it will be more like green Umba. Please don't forget to
submit your painting as a class project by just clicking a button inside of the class. Let's get started. D
3. Lamb Sketch: Et's start by drawing
a sketch of a lamb. First, I'm placing
the main line, middle line and trying to sketch the main
shape of the hat, catching the angles of the face. You can find the
reference photo and the copy of my sketch in the
attachments to this class. I'm drawing a sketch without
a very precise measurements, but if you are just
starting out and you see that there is something
broken in your sketch, like you have troubles, like the ears are too
big in comparison to the face where some other
part doesn't look right, you can use citing
method to check the measurements of the object
using your pencil as unit. Now I can see that I'm
not quite satisfied with the size of the hat and the
placement on the paper. I can make it bigger. So I just remove my sketch
to build a new one. And it's totally fine
if you want to remove your pencil lines and to change the measurements
of the objects you already drew because it's very important on the stage of the sketch to make everything right because when
you start painting, you won't be able
to change so much, so it's very important that
you are satisfied with all the objects and measurements during
this sketch stage. So If you're just starting out with painting, I recommend you to check
my other class with a goose painting where I
describe all the basics of color theory and building up a sketch and
watercolor techniques in a simple short lessons. We Now, everything looks more in place, and I can move to
the color mixes. Before I move to paint in part, I will remove the
strom pencil lines with a kneadable eraser. For painting this lamb, I will use three main colors. It's a red shade, ruby by white knight. You can use zarine
crimson, for example. I will use raw umber. You can use Rosana and
paints gray for dark areas. With these three colors, I will be able to mix any shade
I want for this painting. I'm placing colours
on the palette, and I will see you
in the next lesson where we will start
painting with watercolor.
4. Lamb Painting: Et's start by mixing up a color. First, I need to mix
color for the base layer, first layer of the painting. I use raw umber, and I will try mixing it
with a bit of ruby maybe to create more pinkish shade and with paints gray for
creating daka shade. I use different puddles and I'm making sure that
I have enough paint. Because when I start painting, I will use wet on wet technique, and I will not have enough
time for mixing colors. So now I'm mixing raw
umber paints gray and a little bit of ruby to
create dark, brownish shade. I will leave this
shade for latter, and now I will just use a mix of raw umber and water for
creating the first layer. For the first layer, I need to use a pretty
transparent color, so I use a lot of water and
just a little bit of pigment. And I cover the whole
area of the face and the body of the lamb with
this very light color. I avoid painting
the lightest areas. For example, the
nose under the nose, I keep this area white. I can start adding a little bit of brownish
color at the bottom of the body because it will be quite dark area and I can
use already some dark color. I can add a little bit
of raw umber again around the ice creating
a bit darker areas. If you see that you have too much water or colour
travels too much, you can just use a dry
brush and remove the color. Also place a little bit of
ruby on the area of the nose, so the colors would
nicely blend, creating this very smooth
transition between the pinkish color and the
beige color of the main layer. And now we can continue
building up the color, adding little by little, same colors that we used
for the first layer. I decided that left side
will be a bit darken, so I'm placing color on
the areas that are darken, so it's on the neck of the lamb and maybe just in some
places on the body. And now I want to move
to painting the ears. I just cover it with a very
light mix almost water. Now I will take a little bit of ruby or any cool red
shade that you have, and I will place it carefully
in the middle of the e. Letting colors blend. Also, I can mix ruby with
a little bit of raw umber, creating more natural red shade, not so bright pink. And apply it on the left ear. If you see that
colors travel a lot, you can wait a little bit until the surface will
get a bit more dry. The more dry paper, the less colors travel, and you can control the
area that you are painting. I'm waiting until the ears will get a bit more dry,
and meanwhile, I can add more dark brown areas at the bottom on the
body of the lamb. I use mix of raw umber, paints gray, and a
little bit of ruby. Now I want to darken the
areas around the yes. I'm using a bit of raw
umber and a bit of ruby, and it's still
pretty base color. It's not pink, and I place in
this color around the ice. Now I want to renew
my brown color and I mix in raw
umber and paint gray, but I see that this
color is too dark, so I will just
place a little bit of this color in another
puddle on my palette, and I will use more
water for this color. And if I see that the color I placed on the paper is too dark, I can just use a light
color to drag it down or just clean my brush and drag the color
with clean water, creating more smooth edge. Now I need to place some dark areas around
the nose around the eyes, leaving these light
areas in the middle. Each time I place the color
and I see the rough edge, I'm just using my clean brush
with water and dragging the edge down and creating
more smooth transition. Now I want to renew
the mix for the ears, so I'm placing Ruby
again on the palette and using this pinkish color mixed with a little
bit of raw umber, I'm placing it again in
the middle of the ears, creating more dug color. Basically, watercolor
is transparent medium, it means that when we are placing one layer
on top of another, we're creating the depth of these layers and building
dimension of the object. Now I come back to the
bottom part of the body and I'm adding a bit of ruby to the mix of paints
gray and raw umber, creating more brownish shade. If I see that color is too dark, I can just use clean brush and
drag the color down again. And also, I can use the
paper towel and just press the paper towel to the paper
removing this dark color. Now I will use this
dark brown color and highlight the
edge of the ears, creating just these
areas of the shadows bit because basically our
ears of the lamb, they will be darker
than the face. So we have to separate
these two parts, ears and the face with the help of contrasts
and darker shades. Now I want to add some darker areas at
the bottom of the nose, so I'm using more paints
gray for this color mix, and I'm highlighting the
nostrills of the lamb. And using this darker color, I will also paint the smile on the face
of the lamb and also add a bit darker color to the corners of the ears to
highlight this contrast again, between the ears and the face. On. Now I start painting the
eyes, and for the eyes, I will need even dark color almost black color paints gray. And you can switch to
the smaller brush, but I'm just using
the very tip of my brush which is
sharp and pointy. I will remove some of the
colour on the paper towel so I would have more control over the areas I'm
going to paint. Of course, I leave a white highlight in the
middle of the eye because eyes always shiny and we always keep white
highlights in the eyes. Now it's almost done. I want to add some more shadows around the ice to highlight
some shape on the face. So I'm cleaning my brush and
I'm loading it again with the raw umber mixed with water and mixed with
a little bit of ruby. And I'm using this very
transparent color mix for placing the shadows
around the ice. M, now I can also mix a bit more raw umber
with pins gray and apply this color
below the face to highlight this area
separating the face and the neck and creating also this texture of the
fur of the lamb. And of course, we can also
highlight some dark areas on the ears of the lamb using
this color mix of ruby, a little bit of
raw Umba and maybe a little bit of pins
gray, muted red shade. And that's it. Our
painting is done. You can also place
a little bit of pink colour in the
middle on the nose. Just make sure that it
doesn't catch all the tension because all the tension will remain at the eyes of the lamb.
5. Panda Sketch: Now let's move to
our next character, and it's a baby panda. I think it's very
adorable animal, and it's worth painting for some cute card or
just a decoration, maybe for a baby shower or
any other particular reasons. Maybe some of your
friends love pandas or you just want to
practice painting animals. So let's start by
drawing a sketch, and I'm always starting
by simple shapes. For example, the round shape of the face of the
panda and the ears. The nose and the eyes
of the panda will be placed in the bottom part
of the face so you can basically split
the whole face in two halves and in the bottom part will
be eyes and the nose. And eyes in comparison,
for example, with the lamp that we painted, they will be closer
to each other. So the distance between
the eyes will be less than the width of
the eye each eye. A Once my sketch is almost done, I can just check some lines
and shapes if I'm okay with it or I want to change something because
as I said before, it will be hard to change
once we start painting. Now I'm done with the sketch, and I will see you in
the next lesson where we will start painting
with watercolor. H.
6. Panda Painting: I already have colors from the previous painting
on my palette. It's mix of paints gray and just a little
bit of raw Umba. And before I started painting, I need to remove the
strompenclines within inobleasa. And first, I apply a clean water on the area
of the face of the panda. Because we will need to create this very furry and
blurry texture, so we need to not have a rough
edges of the colored area. I need to make sure that
the color will just travel creating these
very smooth edges. And I start by placing this quite light
color in some areas. I'm applying this light mix on all the areas that
I see on the image as white because in
painting we are not keeping the white areas.
We have to paint it. I will start placing
the black areas on the ice around the ice and be careful because the
color will travel a lot. It will blend with the
layer that is still wet. And if you see that the color is going very far away and
you cannot control it, it's better to wait a
little bit more until the surface will
get a bit more dry. Now I see that the shape of this spot is going a bit
in the wrong direction, but it's not too far, so I'm okay with. Ohh to make this spot
looks like a fur, I can use my mechanic pencil and just or the other
side of the brush or any sharp object and just drag the color a bit
towards the side. The paper got almost fully dry, so I will place a
bit of clean water around the spot
around the other eye, and I will leave it to get dry a bit and I will jump meanwhile
to paint in the ears. And I'm just placing paints
gray color on the ears. I've placed the clean
water around this spot on the eye to make sure that
the edge of this dark spot will be also smooth and will be blurry because
I don't want to have these rough edges to highlight the texture of
the fur of the panda. So the color should
travel a little bit on the side, but it's okay. If it doesn't go very far, I just need to create this
slightly blurry texture. It. I will place a bit of pains
gray in another puddle, adding a little bit of ruby, creating just slightly
different shade, and I will place this color
on the area of the nose. Since the panda is
black and white, we are using
different consistency of watercolor to highlight the darker areas
and lighter areas. So basically, when I
will paint the ice, I will use a very dark and
thick pains gray color. Also leaving white
highlights in the middle. And for example, for some shadows around the
face or on the nose, I will just use a very light mix of
paints gray and water, like I see right now, I need to make it a bit lighter, I will clean my brush and I
will just lift some color, creating more smooth edge. Now using paints gray, I will paint the area
of the body using quite a lot of water and at the same time,
quite dark color. So I'm using a lot of water and color and placing in
some areas lighten, color, and in some
areas darker color. Most darker color will highlight the separation between
the head and the body. While I have this dark
color on my brush, I will come back to the
area of the eyes and I will paint dark color around the eyes and in the
middle of the ice, keeping this little white dot
as a highlight in the eye. My task now is to increase the contrast on the
eyes on the nose, maybe a little bit on the
ears just by applying a bit more color as the second layer,
increasing the depth. Now I want to create more smooth edges between
dark areas and light areas. So I'm just using a clean water and I drag the color
from the dark areas, creating these smooth
edges around the nose, maybe somewhere under the face. And using same light mix
of pink green water? I can just create some brush
strokes that looks like the fur on the edges of
the face of the panda. Now my painting is almost done. I can just dark paint
gray areas on the body, also creating these brush
strokes as the fur texture, and maybe add some
contrasts on the nose, maybe fix some
shape of the nose. I want to make it a bit wider, and that's basically it. I think that's very cute, and I can wait to
see your pandas. Please share it in
the class projects. H
7. Piglet Sketch: In this lesson, we will start drawing a sketch for
our cute piglet. Let's start by analyzing
the main shape of the head. If we compare the
head of the piglet to a head of a panda or a lamb, it will be more square
shape than the round shape. So I started by drawing a rough shape and
drawing the ears. You can download the reference
from the attachments of this class and build up
a sketch by yourself, or you can just trace my sketch that I also
attached to this class. I want to play some
main objects like the nose and the areas
around the eyes. I see that they are more intense and pink and
also the eyes itself. It's quite hard to catch the line of the
mouth of the piglet, so I'm just drawing the shape that I see
on the reference, and we will figure it out
when we are going to paint. And I think that's it. I will add some rough lines to sketch the shape of the
body of the piglet, and we can move to
painting with watercolur.
8. Piglet painting: M. For painting, the piglet, I will use same
three colors ruby, raw Umba and paints gray. Please don't mind a lot of blue colors that I
have on the palette. It's the colors that are
left from my other painting. I will not use them. And I start by covering the whole face and the
body of the piglet with a very light mix of ruby and raw Umba adding more Umba closer to the
body of the piglet. I need to create very
light pinkish color. It's like a t consistency of watercolor if we are talking
about three consistencies, tea, coffee, and butter, depending on the water
to colour ratio. I added some pure R Umba
to the wet surface, and I see that it's too bright, so I can lift the color while the surface
is wet because I need to maintain the first
layer as a very light base. I'm mixing more
ruby and raw Umba and I add it to the
area of the body. This color is too dark, so I can just wet my brush and apply some water and drag
the color to other sides, making it more light. Broke. Broke. Broke. Using clean and dry brush, I can remove some color from the wet surface
by lifting the color. By creating highlights or
light areas around the eyes, and now I can continue
building up the color. I will mix ruby and a Umbe and I will add this color in
the corners of the ears. Just like the ears
of other animals, they have more pink
and dark area in the middle and the top part
of the ear will be lighter. Since the surface is wet, the color is traveling
on the wet surface. So you can use a
clean and dry brush and lift the color if you
don't want it somewhere. For example, here
on the right side, paper got almost dry, so I can easily control the
watercolor on the paper. Ears will be also
darker than the face, just like in the case of the lamb when we
painted the lamb. And also, I can
highlight the edges of the ears using this slightly
dark and pink color. Now, I will add a bit more
raw umber to the mix, and I will use the
colour to create the shadow on the
mouth of the piglet. It's just a dark area
without any edge. So I'm trying just to make a slightly darker tone in comparison to the upper
part of the face. The bottom part of the
piglet will be dark, and it will help us separate the face from the neck
and the rest of the body. I'm using a bit more
intense color mix. So as you can see, I still using just two
colors ruby and raw Umbe. Using different amounts of
water in the color mix. So basically, water
to color ratio, I control if the color will
be more dark or more light. Now I add more ruby and I paint these areas around the eyes. Now I see that the
color is quite dark, so I can just clean my brush
and using just clean water, drag the color down, creating more transparent
appearance on the paper. I switched to the smaller brush because it will be
more convenient for me to paint these little elements like nose and areas around
the eyes and the eyes. I use more ruby
in the color mix, and I apply this pink color
onto the surface of the nose. The nosetrills will be dark, almost pure, paints gray, just very dark color. So right now, I will just
paint this pinkish nose. M But the nose is not flat, so I'm using the same color
mix just more beige and creating a line above
the nose with a shadow. So it creates more like
dimension of this element. I can also mix some
more color and use a bit less water to create more intense color and use it for painting the
shadows on the ears. When I place dark color, I see the rough edges, so I need to smooth them
with a clean brush. I use just clean water and
drag the edge a bit down, creating more smooth edge. Now, I've created the
most color values, and I want to mix
a bit dark color. So I add a little bit of paints gray to the color mix
that I already have. And I use this color at the
bottom part of the nose. For the eyes, I will use
pure paints gray color, and I just remove some of the
color on the paper towel, and I'm painting the shape of the eye with just
one black colour. It Now, I use this light gray shade, paints gray mixed with
a bit of raw umbe and ruby to paint this
line of the mouth. And now I will use paints gray mixed with ruby for
painting the nostrils. I will start with just
pure paints gray, but it's too dark, so I can just mix it with other colors that
are left on the palette. Now the painting
starts to look much better because I added
some dark contrasts, and I will increase this
contrast by adding this dark a color on the area of
the mouth in some places. Also, I can see that I want to make the area of
the body be darker, so I'm mixing the colors that are on my palette,
these three colors, and I apply this dark color right below the
head on the neck. I use watery brush to drag the color down to create
more smooth hatch. Now I want to add this
slightly dark shed at the top of the head
of the piglet just to create the understanding
that it's not a flat surface and it also has some
shadows, texture, et cetera. Mm. And our painting is almost done. I think it's already
looks very cute, but I want to add even
more contrasts on the ears at the bottom of the ears and in the middle area. Just be careful to not
create too dark color. And I also want to connect these nose rails to
the edges of the nose. Make it more smooth and natural transition.
And that's it. D.
9. Bunny Sketch: Welcome to the last part of our class where we will
paint a baby rabbit. And I will start by
drawing a sketch. I always start with
the middle line to start placing the
object on the paper. I measured with
the siting method that the height of the
face will be approximately equal to the height
of the ears and to the width of
the face as well. If you don't want to go
too deep into sketching, you can just copy my sketch that I
attached to this class. I'm not trying to create a
very realistic painting, so approximate distance
between the eyes and the nose and other parts of the face will be okay for me. So I'm not trying to precisely measure all the proportions
of the rabbit's face. I just see that the
eyes are quite far away from each other and the nose is placed in the bottom
part of the face, and the rabbit has big cheeks. We Now this sketch is done, and we can move to
the painting part. We
10. Bunny Painting: Let's start by mixing up
the colors on the palette. For painting the
bunny, I will use a few stones or brown shades
that I have like yellow oak, bunchiena, green Umba,
pains gray, and ruby. You can just use raw umber that we used for
the previous paintings, and it will be totally fine. Or you can just mix up the colors to get
this brown shade. For example, here I will show you the mix of
pains gray and Bunsena. It's a nice brown shade. For the main color
and first layer, I will use mix of raw
umber and burn Ciena. I will start by covering
the area of the face of the rabbit with a clean
water, carefully applying it. Once the paper is
covered by water, I can apply a very
light shade of green umber and
maybe a little bit of raw umber or yellow oakum. For the beginning, you need
just a cool shade of brown. If you have, for example, Bangiena which is pretty
bright and orange brown, you can just mute it down by adding a little bit
of paints gray. Whatever brown you have, just try to mute it down. And if your brown looks
pretty orange or red, you can also mute it
down with a blue shade. Like add just a little bit of ultramarine or cobbled blue. I applied Sam Boncan
in the middle, but I see that it's too dark, so I have to make this color a bit more transparent by
adding more water. And I add a little
bit more yellow ochre mixed with water on
both sides of the nose. Now I will apply a bit of raw umber in the middle
on the forehead of the rabbit and may
muted down with other brown shades like
green Umba and puntiana. I can add a little bit
of this mix on the nose. Now, let's start building
up more intense color. I'm using mix of paints gray and puncienaT dark brownish shade, but with quite a lot of water, so the color wouldn't
be too dark. And I will let it dry now. I will mix pangena and a little bit of colours
that I have on the palette, some yellow oka and raw Umba and I will use this color
for painting the ear. I'm trying to use different
shades of brown to make this area looks more
realistic and natural, and I'm mixing a bit
more brown shade with paints gray and Pansiana to
apply it on the left side. I see that it's quite dark, so I will mix a bit more colors on the palette and just
drag the color down. Make the color less intense, I just placed the same color
mix I had on the brush, paint gray and Bunciena and I placed it on the palette
on another puddle where I could control water to color ratio and create
less color and more water. And if I want to
make it more dark, I'm just taking more color like here on this bottom
right corner. I'm just placing almost
pure Burnsiena and pains, create in the shadow. Now I need to connect this area and a little
bit on the forehead. If it's too dark, I can
always clean my brush and use the paper towel to remove the excess
of the water. I mix in green Umbe
with paints gray, create in this
neutral brown shade, and I apply this
color under the eye. If I see that color is too dark, like in this case, I can just clean my brush, dap it on the paper towel, and drag the edge of this spot, creating more smooth edge and removing the excess of
the color from the paper. So if you apply the color and you see that
you want to create more smooth and more
transparent edge, you can just use wet brush and drag the
edge of the spot down. Now I will load my brush with more burnt enemx and
apply it on the nose. And again, to rough edge, I clean my brush, and with the wet brush, I'm just dragging the edge of the spot a little
bit on the sides, creating more smooth edge. Now I want to load my brush with this dark brown shade almost black and not a lot of water and apply it on the nosetrills at the bottom part of the nose
and on the area of the mouth. Now these dark areas, they are separated, and
we need to connect them. So I use just a wet brush and maybe a little bit of the color that
left on the brush, and I'm just connecting
these areas, dragging these wet
edges down and creating this more intense base
color for the face. Now I want to renew the
mix of Bonsiana and paints gray and move
to paint in the ear. I start with a
very opaque color, and now I can just
add more water into the color mix and
connect this area, moving from the top of
the ear to the bottom. Normally, we move the brush
from the lightest area to the darkest because where
the brush will end up, there will appear the
dark watercolor spot. While I have this
color on my brush, I ask myself where I would like to darken the areas
of this painting, and I decide to add a little
bit more color on the nose. It's important that I analyze
what areas are still wet, so the color would naturally blend with the existing layer. If the area is already dry, I have to think if I
should apply the color. And I started painting the
inner part of the ear using the ruby and a little bit of yellow oka mix that I
have on the palette. It's a muted red shade. It's not bright red. And I apply just
a very light mix. Now I can apply some brown shade that I have on the palette. It's raw umber and
maybe a little bit of burnt sienna on
the right side of the ear and connect this
brown shade with the red one. Create in very
smooth transition.
11. Bunny Painting Final: Let's continue
painting the bunny, and I move to painting the body. I will just start with a light mix or even clean water and
just covering this area. And I will apply Pungen
mixed with pink gray, some brown shades that
I already have on the palette that I already
used for the bunny's face. And also some colors that I have on the palette The one
thing that I keep in mind that the body should be
darker than the face of the bonny because it
creates a dark contrast, helping the head be the center of attention
of the painting. Now, I can darken the color, applying even more bunsenam
to the wet surface, letting the colors blend. And mix of paints
gray punt of course, creating this dark brown shade. Now let's mix some more color for painting the inner
part of the ear. I take some ruby and placing on the palette where I
have some brown shades. You can use mix of ruby and raw Umbe and I'm placing this color with
mix of 50% of water, 50% of color on the
side of the ear, creating this shape, just
like I see on the reference. Now I switch to the smaller
brush number zero loading it with paints gray and Baniana
and paint in the whiskers. I'm actually not sure if it's whiskers on the rabbit's face. I know that whiskers
are on the cat's face, but I hope you
understand what I mean. Now using the same
dark colour mix, I will paint the eyes. And remember, we always
keep a highlight, a white spot of light
inside of the eye. I'm painting the
shape of the eye with just one color that
I have on the brush. And also don't forget
about eyelashes because rabbits have
quite nice big eyelashes. And I'm doing the same
with the other eye. Now when the painting
is almost done, I need to analyze where I
need to add more contrasts. And I want to add more
contrasts around the eyes. So I'm loading the brush with some colors that
are on my palette. It's mix of yellow ocha, a bit of paints gray, and maybe a little bit
of ruby that I have, and I apply this color the eye. I'm not creating a smooth
edge for this spot. I'm just creating a fur texture. I want to also add
this darker shade. On the both sides of the nose, I'm adding more bonana or
maybe even pure bunchiana. And I'm just creating these little brush strokes
that looks like the fur. You can leave it like
this or you can also add a little bit of texture using a little brush strokes
and this brown shade. Normally, I would also
add a darker contrast on the corner of the ear to highlight the difference
between the head and the ears, just like I did with
all the animals. And that would be the final
detail of this painting. Thank you for joining

baby animals with me. I hope that you like the
result of your painting, and I really hope to see your paintings in the
