Easy Watercolor Pineapple Painting Tutorial
One of the reasons why I love watercolor painting, It doesn’t need to be perfect when you are painting. The flow of the water is what makes watercolor painting special. You can add more water to create a softer look or ad less water for bolder color. In this easy watercolor pineapple painting tutorial I won’t be showing you technique but just a fun way to paint pineapple. By using a template you can paint within the lines of your pineapples and get creative. In essence it’s step by step watercolor painting for beginners.
Materials:
Pineapple Template
Transfer Paper (Graphite)
Pencil
Paint Brush
Watercolor paints
Cup of water
Old plate
Paper towels
Ruler
Masking Fluid
Masking fluid applicator or a thin brush.
Step 1:
Transfer the pineapple template to the watercolor paper using transfer paper. Place the transfer paper graphite facing down onto the watercolor paper. Place the template on top of transfer paper and use a pencil and start drawing the shape of pineapple lightly. It will appear on the paper. If its to dark you can use an eraser to lighten the leaves. I purposely darkened the leaves so you could see how it appear. You can use this as your Pineapple Template
You will need to create vertical criss cross lines on the body of the apples. For this use a masking fluid with a thin brush. Apply thin line of the fluid. It creates a rubbery outline. When you paint over the body it will resist the paint leaving those lines white. Use the pineapple template which has the lines as a guide. After a few hours after the yellow paint dry, remove the making fluid gentle with an eraser. It will reveal nice white criss cross lines. You can see that in the last image in this post.
