What you need View steps

What you need

  • Bruynzeel Kids watercolour set
  • Small jar of water
  • Bruynzeel Expression graphite pencil HB
  • Tissue
  • White paper
Step 1 - Drawing a seal

Step 1

Start with a light sketch.

Use the HB graphite pencil to mark the seal's head and front. Also draw the back, tail and underside, but keep a piece of white for the front fins. Draw the front fins by making triangular shapes and draw the eyes, nose, snout and whiskers. Make a rock under the seal by drawing two winding lines.

Step 2

Time to add some colour!

  • Wet the brush and mix the white paint with the black paint until you get a light grey color and color the seal.
  • Clean the brush in the water and wipe it off on the tissue. Then use the brown paint to color the rock.
  • Clean the brush in the water and wipe it off on the tissue. The use the blue paint to make water around the rock and the seal.

Advanced tip: Make different shades of blue by adding more white paint to make the water look even more real.
