Hedgehog PDF

Description

My online watercolour tutorial, will guide you through the steps involved in painting this Hedgehog in illustration detail.

The Hedgehog is Britain’s only spiny mammal, in fact, it is estimated they have approximately 6000 spines over their bodies. Whilst a familiar mammal, not many people have actually seen a hedgehog in the wild. They are on the Red List for British Mammals – deemed vulnerable to extinction. Did you know that hedgehogs run pretty fast, they are good at climbing, and they can even swim?

I’ve been putting off this painting for some time, as it was a task that even I thought looked pretty challenging! However, now that I have broken it down into its component parts, I feel it would be suitable for an intermediate painter. You will need to be an artist with plenty of stamina though, and I do advise taking lots of breaks, particularly as you work on the spines.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Hedgehog in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 44-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.
