Introduction, Resources, Overview
Welcome!
Learn how to paint this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in watercolor! Whether you create this painting or a similar subject, I hope you find these techniques and steps useful.
- Scroll lower for an overview of the lessons and resources.
- Throughout this course, I encourage you to make decisions based on your vision for your painting. Use as much or as little of the lessons and drawing as you need. If you lose focus, take a break. You will return with fresh eyes!
- Creating a detailed and realistic painting like this does take time, but when you enjoy the process it's inspiring and a lot of fun. Allow yourself the freedom to experiment and learn from your experiences, because that's how we grow. You can do this!
I’d love to hear how it goes and invite you to share your painting along with challenges, solutions, and suggestions.
- Take a photo and share in the Community.
- Share your painting in our Facebook Group, Realistic Animals in Watercolor.
- In addition, upload your painting to your Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter - all of your favorite places with the hashtag #rebeccarhodesart. By sharing, you are inspiring others to get started!
I hope you enjoy the course!
