Learn to Paint a Water Vole in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial
Sadly Water Voles are one of Britain’s most threatened species, they have been heavily predated by invasive American Mink, and have suffered huge habitat loss. There are moves to help boost the numbers of these endearing little rodents, with captive bred animals being released into suitable habitats, and it would be lovely to think that we may one day hear that characteristic plop of one dropping into a waterway or pond near here.
This is a complex painting, with many different challenges, and I have therefore classed it as an advanced level project. But, if you are totally captivated by this little fellow, just give it a go! I’ll guide you in little steps through the whole project, and you may end up surprising yourself.
However you decide to approach the project, remember to take your time, and give your eyes, brain and hands regular breaks, and your work will benefit as a result. This is certainly not a painting that should be completed in one sitting!
This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting the Water Vole 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.
