For today’s watercoloring I am using markers but the same tutorials applies if you have watercolor cakes. But if you are curious to learn more, check out this How to Use Watercolor Markers post.
- Begin with the face shape. Using a skin tone color, draw an oval shape, which ends with a swirled trunk of an elephant. Mark where the eyebrows and eye center will be.
- Paint over the marker with water, gently dragging the color and water to meet in the center.
- Add a stomach and palm shape next.
- Paint with water again, adding a little bit extra water to the center of the tummy and slight hint of pink if needed.
- Using a pink color, add two symmetrical ears. The ears should be large and dramatic.
- Draw in and paint the thighs with a green color.
- Using a bright orange color, draw the prasadam and crown. You can use gold here instead if you have it.
- Finish off by adding touches of blue design to the plate holding the prasadam, the feet and painting a mouse at the feet of Lord Ganesha.
Let dry. Go in with a fine black pen and carefully outline the painting. And your Ganpati Watercolor Drawing is complete and ready now!
