Pelican Tutorial - Part 1 - Advanced (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! Here's to happiness, health and lots of time to paint in 2022 🥳!

Here is Part 1 of the Pelican tutorial.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60738143

Take your time with it. There are some detailed areas and some loose and relaxed areas to balance out the detail. I used three colours for this painting. The pink was Winsor and Newton's Rose Dore. If you don't have it use a pink that you do have. If you find your pink is too bright - add a bit of Burnt Sienna to it to tone it down. You could also use an orange instead of pink. Don't be afraid to experiment with your colours. If you don't have Cobalt Blue replace it with French Ultramarine. I've included a photo of my finished painting as well as a scan of the painting so you can see the details. I think the scan tends to enhance/alter the colours. The photo gives a truer indication of the colours of my painting.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here. There are lots of progress photos to help you see the progress.

The reference photo was taken by Olivier Guillard and I downloaded it from Unsplash website here: https://unsplash.com/photos/U7gYTkyiqD0

I hope you enjoy painting it.

Louise

My tutorials are designed to help you on your creative journey. Any painting you create from a tutorial where I use my own reference photo is for personal use only. They can't be sold or entered into an art competition. I write on the Supplies Lists where the photos come from. Permission is not given to paint any of my earlier paintings that are not tutorials because some of them are licensed. Also, a few of my earlier paintings were painted from photographs where I sought the permission of the photographer. The photographer gave me permission to use it, not others.

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself. This is in accordance with the Terms and Services of the Wildlife Reference Photo website.

If you share a finished painting on social media I would really appreciate it if you could link back to my account (be it on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram) and mention that you painted it in one of my tutorials. @louisedemasi
