How to Paint REALISTIC FUR in Watercolour (Part 3 of 4)

It's time to bring the Red Squirrel to life, we will use what we learnt in the mixing video, to prepare our paints, and then start laying down a layer of wash, followed by numerous layers of fine detail. I hope you are enjoying the process so far, don't forget to leave me a comment so I know how you are getting on, I would love to hear from you.
