How To Paint A Bunny in Watercolor
For Intermediate Painters
In this lesson, you'll start with an outline page to trace or reference photo to draw from.
The background is a quick loose wash, then on to the bunny.
You'll learn the best colors for fur and work from light to dark with washes of color and short brushstrokes to suggest fur in some of the layers.
Add some grass and you have a young bunny, ready for spring.

Hi, I'm Deb Watson - a self taught artist and long time watercolor teacher
My story is simple.
I loved drawing from childhood, but was discouraged from art as a waste of time. So, I became a nurse, worked at a lot of hospitals and raised a family. But I kept painting.
Over time, I became better at the realism I loved, and just kept working toward improving through painting and self-study. I've always enjoyed painting scenes from my life and small town community (which I call my Small Town America series).
My paintings are not usually famous or majestic subjects, often they're just everyday stuff I see around. But I see so much beauty there, and show it to the rest of the world by painting it.
Now, my watercolors have been in exhibits and won awards across the nation. Yet, it's when my art connects me to other people that it's really done what I wanted, and teaching certainly does that!
Happy Painting.
