Grapevine PDF

Description

Learn to paint objects that are twisted and curved with this downloadable watercolour lesson

This twisty twig is actually a dried grapevine tendril. Originally, these curling tendrils helped the grapevine to climb; coiling around anything that could support the plant as it grew towards the heat of the sun. They continued to grow until the grapes were harvested, and then they become woody. This particular twisty twig is now becoming famous, as artists across the world paint it!

I hope you enjoy this fun tutorial, it will certainly teach you how to create curves, twists and coils that look life-like and three-dimensional. You may even want to make the study into a more complete painting, so we have put together some ideas to get your creativity flowing, and included them within the download.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting these Twisty Twigs in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive an 18-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.
