How to paint animals in line and wash - Great Dane dog
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- 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/ph...
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.

The choice of colours and the little squiggles with the pen are fantastic.. add so much character to the face!

Oh my goodness, Liz, your artwork is simply exquisite! I am so glad to have found you and look forward to learning so much. I could watch you for hours on end as you work your magic....... such a delightful experience. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. 👩🦳🖌️
You are so welcome! Please feel free to watch for hours 😂
Thank you for this! I am fairly new to watercolor and I was in an artist's block until I came across your videos this weekend.
glad to have you here. Hopefully plenty to get you unblocked 😊
Love this style. Would love to see more! 😀. Love the energetic wild lines.
Have you seen the recent elephant and rhino? And there’s a raccoon which was a recording from a live session…. glad you enjoyed it!
I love how it comes together with the pen! Great job, as always!
Thanks so much! Yes, it looks a dog's dinner until you get the pen on😂
Oh my, this is sooooo good. An Artist with a capital A. Impressive and so inspiring! You're fabulous Liz :-)
Thanks so much 😊 blushing over here….
Gorgeous. I feel really inspired. Thank you for sharing 😊
So glad! I hope you have a go. It's such a fun way of working.
Incredible!! Seriously incredible! I love your videos.
Thank you so much 😀
thanks for shaing that, I had a lot of fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this video and downloaded the photo of the dog thinking I might have a go sometime. Last evening it called very loudly and I did a painting. I didn’t revisit the video and choose the wrong paper so it is not light and lovely like yours but it’s OK. Your new book has inspired me to be more adventurous. Big thank you!! Diana
oh that sounds good. adventures are great, because in the end it is only a piece of paper
Maravillosos videos Liz posees un excelente modo de explicar tu arte para q todos lo entendamos y aprendamos las técnicas de acuarela. Mil gracias desde el Libano.
Gracias. Estoy tan contenta de que lo hayas disfrutado. Estoy intrigado. ¿Cómo es que hablas español en el Líbano?
This is wonderful. When I try to use pen on top of watercolour they seem to stop working. I use uni pin fine line. I enjoyed this demonstration. Thank you for posting.
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?
Incredible Liz. Thank you 🙏🏾
You're so welcome! glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing Liz!! You are so creative. Thank you very much for sharing.
my pleasure!
beautiful Liz - I have done a graphite sketch from the reference - but may even try it in colour from this fab tutorial thank you x !
That’s a great idea. You should have some muscle memory from your drawing, so you can relax into the colours
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! And thank you so much for the donation 😊
Hi, loved this, such fun yet still showing the importance of tonal values. The orange and 'strange' blue really complement each other. The eye is a real standout focal point. Thanks for showing this experimental pen and wash portrait. Take care and I look forward to your next video, Cate.
Thank you Cate - tone does all the work and colour gets all the glory.....
❣️
Thank you
Incredible demo,so inspiring! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was fun~. 😉
oh good!
Love it, so painterly ❤️❤️❤️
thank you!
What an outstanding interpretation of the reference photo! Gorgeous style 👏
Thank you very much! I had lots of fun with this.
I was transfixed throughout the whole video. Just amazing. ❤️
Wow, thank you!
I love this painting! Do you have any other dogs with watercolor and lines?
no, but I am doing an online webinar in October: www.painters-online.co.uk/webinars/
Fabulous. Love this style
thank you. I am doing an online workshop on 29 March with www.ShopKeepArty.com of a wolf in this style, in case you are interested.
Loved it...have just gone and ordered your book too..
Hurrah!! That's a lovely thing to hear.
I really love this a lot ❣️😍
Though I enjoy the look of just watercolor, I love line & wash! This is amazing, as always. Another for my "to try" list! Thank you, Liz!
I love both too. line and wash is easier for me as the line work does all the heavy lifting.
@@LizChadertonArt , I'm coming from the stamping & card making world. So, all these years, my images have had the outlines. For me, it just seems natural that they are there. It makes it feel complete. Plus, doing the ink first makes it more like color by numbers which tends to dispel some of my fears.
@@taylors726 the fun thing is to try the same subject both ways, line first or wash first, and see where it takes you
Love watching you work and do such a lovely interpretation!
Thank you so much 😀
Wonderful painting!! Love your work! I have two of your watercolour books and they are amazing! I have been learning so much from your books and your videos on RUclips. Thank you! ❤️
You are so welcome!it’s lovely to know people like the books and enjoy these films
I love line and wash! Perfect!
That's so kind of you
I love this Liz, will give it a go . Thank you
Fab - hope you enjoy it
This is a wonderful video. Thanks so much. You’ve encouraged me to give this type of art a go! Time to order your book.
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it
I thought the same, good old Amazon
@@karenblack98 😀
This is wonderful. I like the idea of putting pen on top of the watercolour but mine seem to clog up or stop working - I use uni pin fine-line. Thank you for the demonstration. I enjoyed it.
It does sometimes happen - if so, try to select colours which don't sit on the surface of the paper. The earth colours and ones with fillers are more likely to clog than staining transparent colours.
Hi Liz, I've watched this several different times. Looks like such fun! Im going to try one of my daughters cat!! I really like line and wash too. It seems to go much quicker. Although ive never tried this squiggly ink work before. Any tios for a beginning Squiggler lol lol ? Love your work! Thanks for sharing your talent 😊
my top tip is to have fun and remember it’s only a piece of paper!
@@LizChadertonArt , exactly :) ty
Bockingford is a cellulose paper, yes?
yes, it is!
Hullo Liz, I was enjoying watching the video until I saw the additional text lines, I had trouble reading the text I missed most of the endings, it is not because it was hard to see but I was concentrating on the brushwork and your voice! 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! Have a lovely day!
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 😃
Wow. I really want to purchase one of your books. What is the most user friendly? I’m hoping to challenge my beginner level and promote some growth.
if you like painting animals then ‘Painting animals in watercolour’ would be right up your street. I personally like Line and Wash Painting as a book
The photo reference you shared is different from the one you showed.
The reference I am using is pixabay.com/photos/great-dane-profile-animal-pet-dogs-6195113/ which is the one I linked to in the film details and have printed off. Where is it different? It could be that my print looks different colour wise? But it is that one!
@@LizChadertonArt That's it...your photo looked like a colored photo and the reference photo looks more black and white. My confusion. 😏
@@joycesnodgrass7068 phew! I went back and double checked I hadn't put a link to a lion instead of the great dane!!!
Hi what colour can I use instead of potters blue,as I can’t get that colour in my country..thanx
you can mix French ultramarine and white watercolour to get a close match
May I ask what the make of your ink pens are please.
If you are in the UK they were just Hobbycraft's own range. You are looking for ones with pigment ink, as they are lightfast and waterproof. Micron, Derwent, Unipin, Rotring, Sakura.... they are all much of a much. Just google fineliner pens.
Can I ask what brush that you use at the beginning of the painting, and what size it is. Thank you
it’s a quill brush from Jackson’s. size 4, which is like a 16 round www.jacksonsart.com/jackson-s-icon-sable-synthetic-watercolour-brush-quill-no-4?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=d3fad7d3634dbfb61018813546edbccb I really like these and use them for students on my workshops
Thank you for the reply, would you suggest just that size for a beginner or are there a couple of sizes you recommend?
Thank you
It depends on what style of painting you aspire to, but on my workshops (inc beginners) I give this brush plus tge 3/0 ( equivalent to a size 8 round), a rigger size 2, a 1/4 inch flat plus a 3/4 flat and I reckon those will keep you going from beginner to expert! @@waynemason2076
Again thank you very much, I only discovered your channel this morning and I already have two books ordered and it looks like new brushes too 😀
Off to check your classes now 👍
Hee hee - welcome to my world! Come and join the Facebook group if you fancy. Link in description @@waynemason2076
Brilliant!
Thank you so much
