In this Skillshare class, we will explore the fundamentals needed, to create a watercolor painting of a black lab with a leaf in its mouth. You might think watercolors are "fur"midable, but you got this!

In this class, we will:

Explore transferring the outline sketch
Explore painting the Eyes
Explore painting the Nose
Explore painting the Ears
Explore painting the Paws and Legs
Explore painting the Face
Explore painting the Maple Leaf
Explore adding the Final Details and painting the Shadow

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 would like review some of the basic watercolor techniques.

If you would like to explore more dog classes, I have several other classes for different breads, and I have a class that focuses on painting dog eyes and one that focuses on painting dog noses.

Materials are listed in the "Projects & Resources" area of the class. There are resource download links for the supplies list and the line drawing for the black lab.

If you have any questions, please comment in the discussions area. I hope you have a "paws"itivly good time! Happy painting!

Thanks to Oscar's owner for allowing me to use him as a model for this class. You can follow Oscar the Black Lab on Instagram.
