Learn to Paint A Gargoyle Gecko in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial
Gargoyle geckos are a small nocturnal species, and native to New Caledonia, a group of islands between Australia and Fiji. They are characterised by bony horn-like bumps, gargoyles, on their skulls, which has led to them also being known as Knob-headed Geckos.
This was a fun painting to work on, as the gecko’s skin was unique, and required the use of some different techniques. Certainly not the ones we would use for painting fur and feathers! Its other stand out feature was its eye, you know how I love eyes, and I really enjoyed the challenge of this one. I have classed this as an intermediate project. If you are new to watercolour the eye may be a good place to start, approach it as a study in its own right, then have a go at trying to replicate the skin. Getting these aspects under your belt, will hopefully give you the confidence to try the whole painting.
This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Gecko in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 36-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.
Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.
Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
