Sketch of Leprechaun with Graphite Pencil

With the grip pencil, make a quick and light outline sketch of a leprechaun holding a pot of gold. Give him a background complete with a rainbow and a four-leaved clover.

I love outlining my drawings with the Extra Superfine black Pitt Artist Pen. If you choose to do the same, you can gently erase away any pencil lines with the Kneadable Eraser.

Leprechaun with Watercolor Pans

Fill your water brush from the Watercolor Pans set with water.

I’ll color most of the leprechaun parts with green.

Having nine different shades of green readily available in this pan set alongside the ample mixing space on the cover that doubles as a palette, you can create many more shades of green if you like.

Color the rest of the leprechaun and his environment with colors of your choice. I love that the pan set includes metallic colors as well which I used to color the gold coins in the leprechaun’s pot.

I hope you enjoyed today’s pan watercolors tutorial. Have fun with it and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you if you celebrate!
