Red Panda PDF

Description

This instantly downloadable lesson will have you painting a Red Panda in realistic watercolour almost straight away.

The Red Panda’s Latin name – Ailurus fulgens dates back to 1825, when a French zoologist first discovered the animal. He named it Ailurus meaning cat, and fulgens meaning fire coloured. These days Red Panda numbers have significantly decreased, and in the wild they can only be found in the Eastern Himalayas and South-west China.

This watercolour painting is complex and very challenging, not only are we painting a background and two types of wood, but we also have a richly coloured, very furry animal to add in too. If you are up for the challenge, be prepared for it to continue over several days, and pace yourself. Each section has repetitive elements, and it is important to break away from your work, in order that you can return with fresh eyes to assess the painting as a whole. Have fun!

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Red Panda in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 53-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.
