Draw and Paint a Sea Turtle in Watercolour (Recorded from a live workshop)

Create a watercolour painting of a Green Sea Turtle with guidance from Tutor Bethany Y Milam. In the first session you will draw the turtle, focusing on shape and proportions then use masking fluid and tracing paper to mask your drawing while creating a textural watery background using clingfilm. In the second session you will paint your turtle using a variety of watercolour techniques to build up layers of colour and texture. There will be extra recordings with quick homework tasks between the sessions (removing and applying the masking fluid). Follow the step-by-step demonstration, learn plenty of drawing and painting tips and have fun in this 2-part workshop. Suitable for all.
