Learn to Paint a Roe Deer in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial

The Roe is our most common deer, often seen on its own in the summer, but then coming together in loose groups for the winter. Unlike Red Deer, the Roe has relatively short antlers, which usually have three points or tines. They are found throughout mainland Britain, but interestingly are absent from Ireland. You are most likely to spot Roe Deer in woodlands, although they do venture out into fields to feed.

I have classed this as an intermediate project, as with a limited colour palette, and just twelve mixes, we are reliant upon subtle changes within the tones to create the shape and form of the animal. Whilst I do use white paint for the highlights, you need to work cautiously with this, otherwise you run the risk of ageing the animal before its time. I’ve used artistic licence with the grass, and this demonstrates how easy it is to simplify a painting just by extending the foreground details and painting them in less detail.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Roe Deer in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 34-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.
