Acerca de esta clase
In this class, I will teach you how to sketch a bottlenose dolphin from a reference picture that I have provided. I will then show you how to create a gorgeous shimmery underwater backdrop surrounding your dolphin using watercolors and mica/metallic watercolor paint. Next, we will lay down washes of watercolor to build up the color and dimensions of our dolphin before adding some final touches of correction pen and gold metallic paint to create the illusion of water surface patterns on the body of the dolphin. When we complete the class, you will have a stunning underwater painting of a bottlenose dolphin that reflects the light and has a magical feel. This class was designed to teach students fun ways to incorporate metallic watercolor paints to enhance a watercolor painting.
This class is suitable for watercolor students of all levels as I will be explaining and demonstrating each step of the process clearly from start to finish.

Hello, I'm Alicia Puran. Despite having a sciency background, I am a self-taught artist who primarily works in watercolours and ink but who has done huge paintings in acrylic in the past. I have a special interest in painting realistic and fantasy animals especially sea animals. After doing numerous pet portraits, I have started dabbling in human portraits and creating fantasy characters. I am also a budding musician who goes by the name Dream Manta and I love designing and painting the cover art for each of my singles I release on Spotify and YouTube. For me, art is a huge part of who I am and I helps me covey all the ideas I have in my head that I can't express in words.

The project for this class is to create an underwater painting of a bottlenose dolphin swimming through glimmering waters using watercolor and metallic/mica watercolor paints using colors of our choice. First, we will sketch the dolphin from a reference picture that is provided in the resources section. Next, we will create a border around our dolphin with masking tape before applying a background wash of metallic watercolor paints of our choice to create the shimmery background. When that dries, we will then start painting our dolphin and building color and dimesion with each subsequent layer of chosen watercolor paint we apply. The final steps are applying correction fluid and a little gold metallic paint to the dolphin's body to create light patterns caused by the water's interaction with the sunlight above the surface.
Students are then encouraged to upload their competed project by clicking the 'Submit Project' button under the 'Project & Resources' section so that myself and others can admire your beautiful dolphin paintings.
