How to paint animals in line and wash - Great Dane dog

Ойын-сауық

Line and wash is a speedy and fun way of painting the animals and pets which are important in your life, especially the dogs you love. Whether you start with watercolour first or pen, you can capture their personality and character. We are trying for more than a coloured in drawing or an outlined painting, but want the ink and watercolour to bring their best qualities to our painting.
In this demonstration, I will be painting a gorgeous dog - a Great Dane and you can find the reference on Pixabay, so there are no copyright issues: pixabay.com/photos/great-dane...
I start with loose and lively washes of watercolour and once they are dry, I add lines using black fine liner technical pens. These have waterproof, lightfast ink and you might know them as Microns....
If you like line and wash you might be interested in my latest book called 'Line and Wash Painting', which was published in January 2022 by The Crowood Press (www.crowood.com) and if you want more in depth training please check out my line and wash course over at www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk.
This is the link to The Book Depository (not affiliate) which does free worldwide shipping out of the UK: www.bookdepository.com/Line-W...
I release a film each week here on KZread sharing a waterolour tip or technique, usually at 2pm. So please like and subscribe and hit the notification bell. If you have a topic your would like me to make a film about, please leave your suggestion in the comments.

    If your paint is quite thick or quite chalky, it can clog the pen. You can just scribble on a scrap piece to unclog it. If you are finding this happening maybe try to use more staining colours which sink into the paper rather than sit on the surface?

Could you mention or list the pen brand in the description area? I have done this ink over technique about 20 years ago, I believe that you created a wonderful portrait of your dog! Do you often augment your voice with text lines? I am very new to your channel and your videos. Thank you for sharing and reminding us of this technique to create a purposeful loose portrait!

    Hi, it is a lovely way of working isn't it? Yes, I usually put text lines to reinforce what I have said, for anyone who doesn't speak English well and for those who are hard of hearing. I try to keep them short, but sometimes the list of colours is long and so the text gets small. I assume people will pause if they don't catch it as I realise there can be a lot going on! It isn't new info, so please feel free to ignore 😃
