Teddy Bear With Rainy Window
Paint Simple Furry Bear, Rainy Window and Wood Texture
Teddy Bears are a simple shape that make successful painting easy.
Add a rainy window for practice in wet on wet watercolor with no right or wrong. It's a unique effect that is quick to paint and compliments the realism of the bear.
This lesson features an outline page you can trace, so no drawing is involved, just lots of techniques for painting fur, wood and rain.
Colors used:
- cobalt blue
- ultramarine blue
- burnt sienna
- lemon or hansa yellow
- red (or your color choice) for the ribbon.
Masking tape is used to create the straight lines of the windows.
A fan brush was used to suggest wood detail, but is optional.

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.
