MANGO Illustration – PATREON Painting Tutorial in Watercolour
MANGO Illustration – PATREON Painting Tutorial in Watercolour
Welcome to this month’s PATREON painting lesson exploring the MANGO, yet another wonderful painting subject together in this beautiful online botanical painting tutorial!
Our focus for this month is really about technique, exploring, enjoying and cementing your painting skills in this perfectly selected subject and painting challenge. Its simple structure and luxurious colours make this a truly wonderful exercise where we can cast aside all other worries and focus in the play and learning. Were improving our application, working in layers and learning how to combine all three of my realistic watercolour painting techniques to achieve excellent learning and gorgeous outcomes. So lets take a look at whats included in this step by step, deep dive painting lesson together… I am excited!
Course Highlights:
- Refining Watercolour Techniques: Learn to master wash application and quality to achieve smooth transitions and luxurious colours. Develop your skill in layering to build up complexity, depth and realism in your painting.
- Exploring Colour: Our mango study truly is gorgeous in its colour, and we get to lap it up in this tropical story, enjoying the interaction of this simple palette to learn more about colour, control, scope, compatibility and incompatibility.
- Texture: What better subject to explore your most delicate textural touch than the lusciousness found in a fruit study? This one has so much to explore and teach you.
- Creating Realistic Detail: Again, we play with capturing some very subtle blemishes on our fruit to bring a beautiful organic touch to our balance.
- Mastering Brush Control: Were all about practicing technique here, and in our mango, we have a perfect balance of scope to apply your practice to. Working with larger wash, wonderful seamless glazing and dry brushing to refine, Itd be hard to think of a better exercise and subject for improved technique!
What You’ll Learn:
- Botanical Illustration: Step-by-step guidance on how to approach to render our Mango Study, capturing its luscious colours, complexity and beauty in watercolour.
- Watercolour Techniques: Learn to develop your watercolour washes in layers, improve your brushwork, application and management with practical exercises.
- Realistic Rendering: Achieve an improved, lifelike result in your painting, rendering the shifting textures and subtleties of our fruit painting subject in watercolour.
