Learn to paint a loose Watercolour Hare

Learn to paint a loose Watercolour Hare

It’s the class you’ve all been asking for!

Join me in this new loose watercolour class where I show you how to paint a hare with a background using a series of photographs (provided).

We’ll use a variety of wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques to create the furry texture and maintain vibrancy of colour to our hare painting. Lastly, we’ll include a floral background to create a unique composition.

Join me now in this new loose watercolour hare tutorial today! All supporting photos are located within the class area for you to use.

I can’t wait to see the background you paint to your loose watercolour hare!
