ART SUPPLY LIST
You can use any watercolor paint. I prefer my small Windsor Newton paint set; it has a nice selection of colors. I also use Grumbacher Paints in the tubes. You can easily find these at any craft store like Lobby Hobby or Michaels. (Look for coupons online.) You can collect lots of paintbrushes, but it is better at the start to keep it simple with a few small, medium, and medium-large brushes and a combination of flats as well as rounded paintbrushes. For these art lessons, I use Strathmore series 300 Watercolor paper. It is economical and available at Michaels and Hobby Lobby and online.
PRINTABLE NOTES
Trace the design on watercolor paper. If it is too hard to trace try to hold it against a window with the light coming through to see it better.
Use watery brown for the background and watery blue for the floor. Drop-in a little mustard yellow into the brown and a little violet and lavender into the blue floor to give it some life.
For the first layer of the clothing use a very light blue for the shirt and dark blue for the pants, hat, and shoes.
Mix a little red with the mustard yellow for the guitar body.
LET IT DRY BEFORE GOING ON.
Use a darker light blue and add details and shadows to the shirt. Use black and go over the pants, shoes, hat, and socks but leave some of the blue showing in places for highlights.
Use orange-brown for the skin, after it dries mix dark brown for the shadows in the face and hands. Use red-brown to detail the guitar. Use yellow for the chair and blue-brown for the shadows on the chair. With the tip of the brush "Draw" the beard, and eyelashes.
