Swan Spreading Wings In Body Of Water Painting Tutorial

Welcome to my Swan Spreading Wings In Body Of Water Painting Tutorial!

In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to paint a beautiful swan spreading its wings in a body of water. This is a fairly simple painting to do, and it's perfect for beginners.

I'll be using a limited palette of just three colors, plus black and white. The colors I'll be using are ultramarine blue, Cadmium Yellow Light, and Permanent Rose.

To begin, I'll sketch out the basic shapes of the swan and the water with a light pencil. Then, I'll mix a light wash of ultramarine blue and water, and paint it over the entire surface.

Next, I'll mix a slightly darker wash of ultramarine blue and Cadmium Yellow Light, and paint it in the area where the swan's body will go. I'll also paint a few light strokes of this color in the water around the swan.

Now, I'll mix a slightly darker wash of ultramarine blue and Permanent Rose, and paint it in the area where the swan's wings will go. I'll also paint a few light strokes of this color in the water around the swan.

Finally, I'll mix a very dark wash of ultramarine blue and Permanent Rose, and paint it in the area where the swan's shadow will fall.

That's it! Your Swan Spreading Wings In Body Of Water painting is now complete. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
