Watercolor Tutorial - How to Paint Watercolor Dragonfly in a Loose Painting Style
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2020
- Loose painting is my favorite way of painting in watercolor! Although it does require a bit of planning, painting loose in the watercolor medium keeps you from overthinking each step. I hope you will follow along this tutorial and learn to loosen up and have fun!
I chose dragonflies as my subject because they're light in stature, are not complicated anatomically to sketch, and their wings provide the perfect foundation for painting fast and loose! You can apply the techniques in this tutorial to other animals as well.
The original dragonflies watercolor painting demo'd in this tutorial can be found here: www.easysunday...

Been trying to paint in a loose style. I am self-taught beginner…loose is more difficult. Your video has inspired and taught me how to better my technique. Thank you so much.
Loose style is about trusting your instincts, but better instincts comes with repeated practice and strong foundations. You’ll get there!

@@EasySundayClub how do I do that ?
On instagram if you have it and tag me :).
Gorgeous!
More watercolor please.
👌
I love this, I have been trying to get looser in my watercolour painting and it is really helpful watching you do this piece, thank you!
thanks for your feedback! I thought simpler silhouettes like the dragonfly is a nice way to ease into painting loose.
the dragonfly is so beautiful :) you made it looks effortlessly :)
Haha. Yes but as you know Alina each painting represents al of the hours and studying we have done up to that point! The journey continues!
Fantastic 👌👌
Thank you!
Glad I found your channel.
thanks, more tutorials coming!
I enjoyed this video. I love the look of these very pretty and light dragonflies. I really want to try this. It’s funny, I was going to ask you if you had tried hot press paper. I just tried it myself. I did a painting of a fawn that went okay but when I tried to put in a wet background wash it was showing every single brushstroke. I tried not to panic. It was really difficult to try to blur and soften the background and eliminate the brushstrokes. I ended up using a soft dry brush lightly all over to knock down the edges before it dried and that helped. Cold press is a lot easier to use.
Thanks for watching this tutorial! I agree with you on hot press paper. I know some more detailed/realism painters, portrait painters and illustrators prefer hot press. I really tried to like it but I think for the subjects I usually paint (animals, landscape) and my style, cold press just reacts to the paint better.
These are beautiful! I would make a card for someone with it. Please do more nature videos not necessarily flowers. Everyone seems to do flowers. Other beautiful animals or insects would be nice. Thank you!
Thank you Janet. That’s true everyone seems to do flowers! I’ll stick to animals :).
This was beautiful! I love this style of painting. I am a beginner and hope to be able to do this one day. I can’t draw 🙁
Hope you will try this sometime. The dragonfly has simple shapes and is beginner friendly, you may just surprise yourself :).
💕💕💕💕
Thank you for your tutorials. Can you provide a copy of your sketch for students to download and have ready.
great idea Lynette! I’ll keep that in mind next time.
Love your dragon flies. What brand is the Teal you used and is it just called teal or does it have another name?
I believe it’s cobalt teal by winsor newton.
Those are its front legs, actually ~ dragonflies don’t have antennas😉 Absolutely love this and your technique❣️
Oh how fascinating, thanks for sharing! I always learn something new when I paint a new animal :).
I am a beginner to watercolor. Do you draw your dragon flies before you paint them?
I do a light and rough sketch. For future tutorials, I’ll make them darker so people can see them better :).
Can you tell me what brand and name of the teal you are using. Mine do not granulate like that. Too many comments to keep searching. 😅
Sure! It’s been a while so I don’t remember exactly but for this I believe I used Cobalt Teal by M Graham and mixed in a bit of Vert Turquoise.
What brand of watercolor paper do you use?
I use multiple brands but mainly Arches and Winsor Newton cold press. For beginners/practice paper the Fluid watercolor pads are great and inexpensive.
What brand of paper and paints are you using
My materials are listed in the video description :)
Why can't I get that crackled effect? :(
You need to use a granulating paint. Some granulate more than others and some not at all. If you do a search it will be easier to find those that granulated. Wish she would list her Paine brand and name. ❤
Do you have dragonfly sketches available?
not for this one but it’s been suggested before so I’ll include it in future tutorials!
What is an "organic" painting?
I meant spontaneous/unstructured, maybe wrong choice of words.
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Thank you :)
Beautiful!
