Materials

• Watercolor paints
• Watercolor paper
• Brushes (a variety of sizes)
• Water container
• Paper towels

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a sketch. Before you start painting, it's helpful to sketch out your design on the watercolor paper. This will help you to plan your composition and make sure that your animals are in the right place.
2. Wet the paper. Once you have your sketch, wet the watercolor paper with a clean brush. This will help the paint to flow more easily and create a smoother finish.
3. Apply the paint. Start by applying the lightest colors first. Use a light touch and let the paint flow onto the paper. Don't worry about being too precise at this stage.
4. Build up the layers. Once you have the base colors down, you can start to build up the layers of paint. Add darker colors to create shadows and depth. You can also use different brushstrokes to create different textures.
5. Add details. Once you have the main colors and textures in place, you can add details to your animals. This could include things like eyes, noses, mouths, and fur. Use a small brush to add these details.
6. Let the painting dry. Once you're finished painting, let the painting dry completely before framing it or displaying it. Additional Tips
