Easy Watercolor Fox Painting Tutorial PLUS How to Download & Trace our Free Sketches onto Your Paper

We all have days when we want to get straight to the painting, and skip the drawing stage. For those days, we have a huge library of free sketches on our website for you. In this video I start by taking you step by step through the whole process of ordering, downloading and then tracing your chosen image onto your watercolor paper - either with or without tracing paper or a light box.

Then once we have our drawing traced, I show you how I painted this cute young fox with a friendly face, in three quick stages - three layers of background body color, darker details and shadows, and finally a few finishing touches with a fineliner.

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
