Hi!

Isabel here with a new class, this time about digital watercolour painting. If you've seen my portfolio, you know I do and love science illustration. However, we are going to get a bit more artistic and less scientific that that!

In this class, you will learn how to paint a dry watercolour using either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer.

I'll take you through the workflow, techniques and tips and we will work together to complete the final project: a bird! I chose a cardinal red bird as the final project.

You can find the reference image in the resources for this class, but should you prefer to paint a different bird, feel free to do so. I'd like to ask you to post your final project, as I love to see what people do and also cause I can give you some feedback.

IMPORTANT: Please, consider leaving a review. You'll be helping me greatly, even if it's just a few words or a simple rating. Thanks!

This class is for any level of skills using Affinity Photo or Designer.

What will you learn?

How to use watercolour brushes to paint a digital illustration. In this case, a bird.

How to extract a colour palette from a reference image to use it for your illustration.

How to lay paint layers from light to dark.

How to extract the basic blocks and gradually go into details.
