Colorways: Watercolor Animals

Discover how to create vibrant, colourful watercolour paintings of a range of animals! With Colorways: Watercolor Animals, learn to paint all your favourite animals, from an elephant and a rhinoceros to a dog, cat, songbird, and more.

Each step-by-step demonstration shows not only how to capture the animal's likeness, but also how to use colour to create magical, otherworldly, and whimsical paintings. In these tutorials, you will also learn how to use watercolour paint to suggest texture, as well as add fanciful embellishments like wreaths, florals, and dreamy landscapes to your animal subjects.

Along the way, you will find technique instruction and tips for using different types of strokes, working with various brush shapes and sizes, and using washes and underpaintings. The Colorways series teaches artists of all skill levels how to employ colour across a variety of media in unique and imaginary ways to create innovative and inspired artwork.

Focusing less on realistic artistic representations and more on creating expressive art, this series invites you to break the standard rules of colour and let your imagination and artwork soar to new heights in order to create unconventional, whimsical, and fanciful works of art.

Learn the customary rules of colour, and then bypass them, with the help of Colorways: Watercolor Animals, a book that encourages you to use colour for interpretive means and personal expression while painting your favourite animals.
