Paint a whale swimming through the ocean using the wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques you've learnt in this class. Use the printable A4 whale references (attached below) to draw up and paint the whale (or any other ocean creature of your choosing using the same technique).

You're invited to share your progress and final artwork with the class by uploading it to the project gallery. If you would like to share your work on Instagram, don't forget to use the hashtag #artoryclass and tag me @annesmerdon :)

Materials you will need:

Drawing materials - a 2B pencil and eraser
Watercolour paints: phthalo blue, alizarin crimson and white gouache (suitable alternatives would be prussian blue/ultramarine blue, quinacridone magenta and titanium white/chinese white watercolours)
Good quality watercolour paper is essential! Either A4 or A3 size is fine but it must be good quality! (if you’re not sure how to tell if your paper is “good quality” please ready my article here on choosing your watercolour paper)
1 Watercolour brush (if you’re not sure which brush to use, read my article here on choosing your watercolour brush)
A palette
Some tissue/paper towel
I have attached the artwork reference for you to print out, if desired
