For our project we will then apply our knowledge and practise some of these techniques together in the step by step painting project. We will be painting a beautiful woodland scene with a fox.

This project is fairly easy to follow along and is good for all levels but particularly beginners to intermediates. There are drawing templates in the resources for those who need them but feel free to go off-piste and create something a bit different if you wish. For instance, you might like to do your own drawing or include a different animal. You could choose to work with a different colour than the Prussian Blue that I use.

Absorb the learning objectives initially but do feel free to have some fun with it and feel free to create a painting which is individual to you.

You will need:

Watercolour paper
Tape
A jar of water
Brushes
Some tissue
A pencil
A washing up sponge
Palette
One dark pigmented watercolour - (prussian blue, phthalo green, deep violet, ultramarine, paynes grey will all work well)
Black watercolour
White Gouache (optional)

Resources

You will find the resources (print outs) in the Projects and Resources tab. You will only find the resources available on a computer (sadly not on your phone). You may find it helpful to print these out before starting the class.

The resources consist of print outs that you may find useful:

The drawing template of the fox and woodland scene
A tonal values chart
A reference photo (blue green woodland photo)
A colour wheel
Ideas for the grass and flower details
An example of the final painting

When you have created your painting I would love it if you uploaded it to the class. There is a special place for you to upload your photos of your paintings! You will find in in the Projects and Resources section (on a computer - not phone) and there, on the right hand side you will find a button which reads "Create Project" Here you can upload your photos and share comments about your work with the class. It's helpful to others to read about what you you found difficult or easy and the perfect place for sharing any tips that you discover whilst painting. I particularly love seeing your work, so please share away!

Happy Painting!
