Achieving Softness & Realism with Tatiana Anisimova
Winsor & Newton Professional WatercoloursAbout This Experience
Tatiana Anisimova will lead a demonstration on painting realistic animal fur using Winsor & Newton's revival watercolour paints. She will focus on achieving softness and precision for both short and long cat fur.
The demo will cover wet and dry layering techniques, blending, and refining details to enhance realism. Participants will learn how to establish texture on semi-wet paper, apply mid-layers for depth, and detail individual strands on nearly dry paper.
By the end, attendees will gain skills in moisture control, effective layering, and creating intricate fur details without overworking their paintings.
