Painted Willow Art Paint-Along Whimsical Elephant

Paint a whimsical watercolor elephant with me!!! I'm really kinda in love with this little whimsical elephant. We'll learn an easy way to break down his shape to make the drawing part easy. We'll use a couple different watercolor techniques. We'll learn how to lift watercolor back off, and we'll finish it off with some fun and whimsical embellishments.
Video Run Time is about 1 hour 20 minutes.

✏️ Supplies Needed ✏️
I have only provided specific links for the things that can't be found at any art/craft supply store, and I do not get commission on anything I recommend - these are just the supplies I love.
Paper: I usually use Strathmore 400 acrylic paper, but for watercolor, any watercolor paper (140 lb. or heavier) will work.
Pens: Love Sharpies, but generally any waterfast pen will work (Sakura Pigma Micron pens are excellent and don't smear with water)
Watercolor: My most used sets are Josie Lewis and Art Philosophy Co. Watercolor Confections sets

Tape: I prefer Washi tape 1" wide - generally available at any art/craft store, but you an use painter's tape as well. In this video I used Scotch Wall Tape.
Eraser: Because people ask! :) I love the Pentel Hi-Polymer white erasers
White Pen: Pentel Sparkle Pop White, however....I don't think it worked as well as the Uniball Signo White Gel Pen
Watercolor Crayon - white (but a regular Crayola type crayon will work.
