[Lesson 31] Clutch – Leather Accessory

This lesson is super fun because you’re gonna paint a leather clutch or a handbag with metal hardware! Yay!

Before Starting

To have a perfect learning-practice day, make sure you are ready:

  1. Gather all your materials, and set them in your favorite place to work with watercolors. Check out the materials list for this lesson below the video.
  2. Sketch the accessory you want to paint before you click play. In the video, I show how to paint a clutch, so you have to have a sketch of the clutch or handbag you want to paint. And, the more sketches you have to paint, the better!
  3. Determine the colors you want for the accessory.
  4. Play your favorite music, and now you’re ready!

Let’s go!

Clutch – Leather Accessory

Materials:

Watercolor paper: I used 180grs/m2

Watercolors: use your favorite colors. I used: flesh tint, magenta, cerulean blue, payne’s gray, yellow ochre, and burnt umber.

Other: Water, brushes, and a mixing palette.

What do you think, was it easy?
