In this three part video series you will learn how to draw a Tourmaline dress ring to scale in three views.
You will then be guided through a simple process on how to bring the drawing to life by rendering with gouache and watercolour paints.
The series has been broken down into three parts.
Video 1- How to draw a tourmaline ring in three views.
Video 2- How to paint yellow gold swatches.
Video 3- How to render the ring in yellow gold and how to render the pink tourmaline.
I have also provided a PDF template of the ring line drawing for those that need a bit more guidance with the process.
This series is great for all skill levels. The videos are easy to follow with step by step voiceover and subtitled instructions.
