In this full-process painting video, you can watch me creating a reinterpretation of Gustav Klimt’s “Pallas Athene”. I used watercolors, color pencils, and gouache for this watercolor and mixed media painting. Klimt’s art is known for its heavy use of gold and precious materials, so I incorporated lots of golden watercolor paint in my artwork as well. This video shows the entire painting process from start to finish, and you can see how I painted the intricate background patterns, as well as one of the tigers, her shiny helmet, and of course, the portrait itself. The video comes without a voiceover, but you can learn a lot by observing and creating your own study. You can download my reference photo, a hi-res scan of my painting, my material list, and my sketch, which you can print out and with which you can follow along at your own pace.

The video lesson is one hour long and I guide you through the complete process of how I painted the big tiger portrait in the front! 😊🐅
