Watercolor Dragonfly Painting - TOP TIPS for Realistic Insect Wings
ฝัง

- Painting watercolor dragonflies comes with the challenge of their wings, let me give you some top tips for them.
Of course, you can use these tips for the transparent wings on any insect. I start off the video trying out a couple of different methods, and I would strongly recommend that you practise with them first. Achieving the fine lines needed for the wings is very difficult and will make or break your painting. It is definitely worth going through the process on some scrap watercolor paper first. Let me know how you get on and whether you will be using any of the tips in your own insect paintings.
Within this tutorial, I mention another on fine lines, here is the link to it: bit.ly/3y26rXK

Thank u sir Paul for this awesome video 🇵🇪🇵🇪👏👑
Your welcome Ivan :-)
Great detail as always. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Paul
Its astonishing how you can finish a painting over a week! Very detailed
Thank you very much, a painting can take on average 2-3 full days depending on the size.
So lovely. I just took a photo of one of these dragonfly this morning on my walk to Tesco so well timed video.
How lovely is that Sue! I hope the photo you took came out well. Paul 🎨
So lovely painting dear, keep supporting us ❣
Thank you! Cheers!
@@TheDevonArtist welcome dear, stay connected 💘
How did you get the outline on your paper? Did you trace or draw it on. Thanks
Hi Kim, I traced this using graphite backed paper. I tend to trace for my videos to cut the film length down a little. It's always good to practice freehand drawing as well though for that hand/eye coordination. 😀
