Watercolor Painted Turtle, a project out of my upcoming book, 30-minute Watercolor Animals! Out October 22nd! Link to order your copy in the comments below | Painted Wing

🎨 In this month’s Subscriber’s Choice tutorial Baby Turtle, you’ll explore how textured layers and blending can bring sand, sea foam, and flowing water to life. You’ll discover how to add subtle footprints, build depth with light and shadow, and highlight details that make your turtle feel three-dimensional and grounded in the scene. By the end, you’ll have a painting that not only captures a sweet ocean moment, but also leaves you with techniques you can use again and again in future artworks.
