How to paint animals in line and wash - koala bear

Line and wash is a speedy and fun way of painting the animals and pets which are important in your life. Whether you start with watercolour first or pen, you can capture their personality and character. Here I am painting a gorgeous Koala and starting with very loose watercolour. Just a few lines of pen start to bring order out of the chaos. 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. NOTE: Since doing this I have had it pointed out that 1. A koala is not a bear - I know that they are marsupials, but it is their colloquial name, so tough 2. They don’t have whiskers. My reference looked like they did and I emphasised them as I like whiskers. Oops, apparently they were long facial hairs. Sadly I can’t undo them, so ‘live and learn’ and if they offend you, sorry. DON’T GIVE YOUR WHISKERS! 😆 You can find the reference on Pixabay, so there are no copyright issues: https://pixabay.com/photos/koala-mars... and I will put it on the community tab of this channel too. In a couple of weeks (5 March 2023), I am going to paint this koala on my Etchr sketch book cover, so if you want to see that please take a look here:    • Painting the cover of my sketchbook in wat...  . I am using Bockingford watercolour paper, black fineliners and watercolour. All the details are in the film captions.
