Goldfish - Progress Through Repetition - Beginners (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

This is a tutorial for beginners who have just started painting in watercolour.

In this tutorial, you will paint the same goldfish three times. Each time you paint it, you will add more detail and practice different techniques. You will repeat some techniques and include a few more with each fish that you paint.

You will use the following techniques:

wet on wet

wet on dry

charging

colour mixing

blending on wet paper

Repeating the same subject will allow you to build your skills. It will help you to develop brush control, it will deepen your understanding of painting in watercolour and it will allow you to experiment with different techniques. I hope that it will build your confidence. It's not easy so don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get it at first.

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

Let me know how you go with this tutorial and if you find it helps, I will make some more tutorials for beginners like this one.

PS I have a video here where I demonstrate how I stretch my paper before I start painting: https://www.patreon.com/posts/31443575

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 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
