A Downloadable PDF Watercolour Lesson, Snail & Strawberry Illustration in Fine Detail

This was one of those photos that I saw, and almost instantly decided I wanted to paint. As a tutorial it has 4 different elements – the shell, the snail’s body, the strawberry and the wood. Within every element, specific techniques will be needed to recreate the characteristic textures of each. For the strawberry in particular it is the shine that really stands out, and whilst at a first glance this looks white, when you get to this section, you will start with a scarlet lake wash over everything. We then add purple for the shiny areas, I know it sounds mad, but you will have to trust the process, as it works out in the end!

Beginner watercolourists may wish to take a single element of the painting to work on and master. For the more experienced artist, as always, I would suggest working methodically around the piece, working on one element at a time. However, as the next element is added, remember to review your previous work, and adjust it as you need to. Often it is only when something starts to become a whole picture that you can really work out where more work may be needed.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start drawing and painting the snail and strawberry in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 28-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
