A Deer Painting and Lesson
Topic: Watercolor Lesson

watercolor of whitetail deer Last week in the watercolor class I teach we painted deer. Here is the lesson on drawing and painting deer. For reference material you can use photos of deer. A good source is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Digital Library System. We used silhouettes from a very old library book, and drawings from a favorite of mine, Ken Hultgren's The Art of Animal Drawing, a wonderful Dover Publication. At USWFS I found wonderful pen and ink drawings of deer, by Bob Hines. Have fun practicing. 

This watercolor of whitetail deer I started last year when we did this lesson. I did a few more touches on it this year.
