Watercolor Dragonfly slow, step-by-step tutorial for beginners.
Creating an easy dragonfly using the side of your paintbrush and some glazing for a blended, beautiful color.

I am using a wet-in-wet technique, making sure you are starting g with a damp wash layer no puddles; if you go in while the wings are wet, you will get the soft feathering and blending without needing the push-pull technique.  This creates a soft, beautiful, and delicate effect.

I also left the paper's whites for interest at the base of the wings, just as I do with many of my flower petals.


For the body, You can either use one long brush stroke starting thicker and lifting your brush as you get to the end of the body for a thick to a thin line, or you can use dabs for that segmented body!  Both are fun. Then go in and dab some dark purple in the body here and there. Please ensure first to touch the tip of your brush onto your paper towel to remove excess paint and water so you do not get puddles.

I'm using all Winsor Newton Paints and brushes.

This brush is from the Dugato brush set, which is very inexpensive, and so far, I like it!

My paper here is a student grade 140# cold pressed I had in my cupboard (I wouldn't recommend it as it is not very good). My intention was to paint on a watercolor STrathmore blank card for gift giving~  https://amzn.to/3O69NV2

My paints are -
Sap Green  https://amzn.to/40DtUwJ
Cad Yellow https://amzn.to/3BexnXW

I thought it might be fun to offer a worksheet and practice painting available for you in my Etsy shop!  

You watched me paint it, and I priced it very attractively for you!
What fun, right?  Your purchase will help me and YOU! What's included?
* painting from tutorial signed dated and tutorial episode name
* my pre-recording swatch I created with colors for reference (all handwritten)
* more pre-work, showing brushstrokes, descriptions
These are all my behind-the-scenes notes and prework.
Every painting is on different papers, depending on what I was teaching, various sizes, and meant for supporting you, although it can be framed as well as a fun piece!
