Tips and Techniques for Painting a Cheetah in Watercolor

There's lots of tips and techniques that I share in this video when I demonstrate how to paint a Cheetah in watercolor. I mix some black paint, I paint shadows on before the markings on her fur, I fade the colour away to keep the focus up near her head and body and I include a simple foreground.
