Watercolour Painting Tutorial, Downloadable Grasshopper PDF, Learn to Paint Realistic Detail
I took the photograph for this painting in our local Rewilding Fields, and immediately felt it would make a great tutorial. A complete change from feathery and furry as we sort of paint armoured plating! I suspect this is a female, as the wings are noticeably very short. In the male the wings are longer, and in combination with the legs, which are rubbed against them, they create the familiar ‘rrrr’ sound.
This is a complex project, but I have presented it as a long tutorial with masses of information. The instruction is broken down into a multitude of stages, each of which, on its own, is a manageable step. You will need your wits about you, as there are just so many sections to paint in this little critter. Throughout, I advise you to tackle each one separately, otherwise it is all too easy to lose your way with it!
This is an instant PDF download, you could start work on this Meadow Grasshopper in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 40-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.
