In this Skillshare class, we will explore the fundamentals needed, to create an 8” x 10” whimsical watercolor painting, of the lovable Leilani. Don’t stop “retrieving.” You can do it!

This class is a great starting point for those wanting to explore the world of painting golden retrievers. I will walk you through painting this wonderful dog. If you have always wanted to paint a Retriever, I hope this will be a "pawsitive" learning experience.

In this class, we will:

Explore painting the Eyes and Nose
Explore painting the Ears
Explore painting the Lips and Snout
Explore painting the Forehead
Explore painting the Chest
Explore painting the Final 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 animals. 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 Chocolate Lab, a Yorkie, and a Basset Hound. 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.

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

Thanks to Brittany for allowing me to use Leilani, as a model for this class.
