Ten Minute Beaver Painting - Browns and blues brushed onto a beaver

In this beaver painting demo, I start with a very loose line drawing in blue watercolour marker and add a series of thin acrylic washes using atelier interactive acrylics to bring this beaver to life. The whiskers were added using blue biro pen. I was able to complete this little painting in just over ten minutes. If you want to check out the brush work in more detail then you can see the hi-res image here. for some of my recent beaver drawings check out these links: https://mike-jory.pixels.com/featured/beaver-drawing-mike-jory.html and https://mike-jory.pixels.com/featured/beaver-sketch-mike-jory.html

The Sunday Art Show - En Plein Air Landscape Painting

This week, I return to the banks of the River Exe to paint the scene that featured in a previous video in a looser style. If you would like to compare the 2 landscape paintings, then the previous version can be seen coming to life in this video: https://youtu.be/U7e4Ta9NLaE For both paintings I use Atelier interactive acrylic but for this one I also use watercolour markers for a couple of finishing touches.

The Sunday Art Show - How to paint a pig in watercolour

Starting out with an outline of the pig in watercolour marker pen, I used large and small round brushes to add thin layers of watercolour paint to create, form, light and shadow on this pig. Finally, I add a few details to the face and head in this ten minute watercolour painting of a pig.
