Willie Wagtail Tutorial - Intermediate (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Here is the Willie Wagtail tutorial.

In this tutorial I mix some black and I layer it over a lighter more colourful underwash and I allow the lighter under wash to show through in a few places. 

When I work with black subjects I look carefully at the subtle variations in tonal value that I can see and I also look for hints of other colours that I might be able to include. 

The reference photo I used for this painting was taken by a friend of mine, Roger Fance. Roger has kindly offered to allow you to use his photos as reference for your paintings. 

The link to his photo site is below. All he asks in return is that you credit him if you share your painting anywhere and like his Facebook and Instagram pages.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here.

I hope you enjoy 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. I know art supplies are expensive, so it's good to be able to recoup the costs of supplies.

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 Photowebsite.

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

Thank you!
