Welcome to Easter Bunny in the Grass — a real-time watercolor demo showing the full painting process from start to finish. Below, you’ll find the materials list, a black-and-white outline, and the reference images.

Please note: as with all demos in Tier 1, this composition does not include voice-over narration. These videos are more playful studio studies where I explore pigments and techniques, often using loose or minimal photo reference, so I recommend thinking of them as inspiration rather than structured step-by-step lessons.

🎨 WATERCOLOR PIGMENTS

NOTE: as with many of my demos, this is an experimental piece where I explored a wide variety of pigments. You do not need all of them to recreate this painting - I often use studies like this to test ideas before preparing a more structured tutorial with a limited palette. In this case, I used five different greens, but I would recommend choosing just one non-granulating green (such as Green Gold) and one granulating green (such as Green Apatite Genuine).

I’m slowly making my way through the tutorials. I’m able to print the outlines on 8.5x11 paper. Is there a way to enlarge it to a quarter imperial?

Aurora Culkin

Love this demo:) It encourages me to stretch my abilities. Than you for being the dedicated teacher that you are. This demo is fun and not overwhelming.

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you so much Aurora! 💛 💛 💛 Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Anna Bucciarelli

Great question! Many home printers only accept 8.5 x 11 inch paper, which can be tricky when you’re working with a larger outline (like 12 x 12 inches). In this case, you can print the outline on two sheets and then tape them together. When you open the file in your print window, look for the sizing options (often called “Fit to page” or “Scale to fit”). Instead of that default setting, choose “Actual size”, “Don’t resize,” or a similar option (the wording depends on your printer brand). Then print one half of the page. Next, rotate the file 180 degrees on your screen and print again, so you get the other half on a second sheet of paper. Once both sides are printed, you can carefully line them up, tape them together, and then transfer the full outline onto your watercolor paper. I hope this helps make the process a bit easier. Thank you! Anna

Thank you for yet another excellent process demo. And, thank you for including Bach Cello Suite in your beautiful background music selections. I've been a cellist since I was eleven years old.

Anna Bucciarelli

Oh wow! That's amazing! I love cello (even tried to learn it as a teenager but it was too hard for me:) Thank you Nancy!
