Marine Universe Illustration in Watercolor

Begin by getting to know Berta Llonch. She talks about her artistic background and her relationship with painting from a young age. She explains why she started to rotate her paintings and where her love of marine life comes from. Hear about her biggest sources of inspiration, from reference artists to everyday items and materials.

Familiarize yourself with the materials and what each one has to offer. Learn the influence of the water when painting and how it behaves with different degrees of moisture. Discover how to prepare your paper by getting the right tension before working on blotting and painting a coral.

Discover how to paint a fish by exploring colors and textures that give your work a personal touch. Do some exercises to help give your illustration volume by playing with light and shade.

Now get started on your aquatic scene! Start with the central figure: a school of fish. Paint the anemone using free and fresh strokes to capture their characteristic movement. Add some acrylic streaks and patches in the background and pencil and felt-tip details for a personal touch.
