In this Skillshare class, we will explore the fundamentals needed to create an 8”x10” watercolor painting, of a blue heeler mix. This class is a great starting point for those wanting to explore a brindle effect with fur. During this class, we will go over wet on wet, wet on dry as well as using mark making to refine the fur. I’ll show you how I use white gouache to achieve those small hairs that seem to sit atop the grey patches through this pup. I’ll walk you through each step, so you’ll feel confident painting this black and white heeler.

I’ll walk you through each step, so you’ll feel confident painting this Blue Heeler Mix. In this class, we will:
