Navigation for those accessing my tutorials on Patreon

I first started teaching my realistic watercolour style online in 2017 and set up a channel on Patreon where I could host the projects. Whilst this has worked extremely well the platform is notoriously difficult to navigate. I have therefore decided to host the videos here on my personal website too and this now gives you various options for joining as a member. The videos are the same in both places so the choice is yours. Indeed, joining at a $16+ level on Patreon grants you access to my personal website too.

For anyone trying to find content on Patreon I hope this page will help.

Seal

There are over 30 species of web/ fin footed aquatic mammals or Pinnipeds that live mainly in the cold seas around our planet.

Whilst the seal clearly has fur, the effect of the water makes the surface of its body look almost skin like. Our challenge with this painting is to paint the fur so that it doesn’t look soft and fluffy. The other complicated aspect of this painting is all the water. We look at a semi-realistic way of painting it, but you can of course simply paint a suggestion if that is what you are the happiest doing.
