Which of these fur painting techniques will you be using in your watercolour paintings? Do you use any others? Let me know in a comment below. And don't forget to check out my video on a VERY furry Raccoon too: ua-cam.com/video/9JHZzCL-5HI/v-deo.html
Great tutorial. Just found you last night. Trying to learn watercolour realistic painting and hoping to be able to paint my pet dogs. :) Thanks for sharing these tips. Quite helpful.
Thank you very much Mandar. Ooh, a Lion, now that's an excellent challenge for you. Why not test out on some scrap watercolour paper using some fine lined masking fluid to reserve some hairs. You can even add the masking fluid over the top of paint as well, but remember to test any ideas out first. Paul 🎨
Hello merci beaucoup pour votre réponse aussi rapide....Ok pour le pinceau et finalement c est ce qu'on invente qui va le mieux.... Je vais aller voir votre vidéo et comme vous j adore la faune et la flore...Je pratique l acrylique et l huile,un peu de pastel, mais je n ai pas encore peint à l aquarelle et ce que vous faites est très beau et surtout très réaliste c est superbe j adore.....Merci encore Marie
Maire, vous êtes les bienvenus. N'oubliez pas de faire de petits pas lors de l'apprentissage de l'aquarelle, de tester diverses méthodes et de connaître à la fois les peintures et la quantité d'eau à y ajouter. Et surtout, amusez-vous! Paul
Hi! I'm in the middle of painting a mother grizzly doing a little fishing to feed her cubs in the background. I'm trying to keep the bears from clashing into the forest background. I'm very new to watercolors after doing acrylics for many years.
Hi Rhonda, what a lovely project to be working on! As long as you keep the background less defined and to a duller, cooler feel, the bears should come forward a little more. Enjoy the process, Paul 🎨
Bonsoir Je suis fascinée par votre peinture qui est splendide.!!! Votre méthode semble très intéressante mais hélas je ne parle pas votre langue alors je vous regarde....Pourriez vous me dire quel est ce pinceau que vous utilisez pour faire le pelage de cet ourson? Ce pinceau qui a le manche rouge......et comment l on s en sert ? Existe t il en France.? Merci à vous et encore bavo pour vos peintures et votre partage sur UA-cam Marie
Salut Marie, merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles, comme vous pouvez le voir j'adore peindre la faune à l'aquarelle. J'utilise Google Traduction pour saisir cette réponse. Le pinceau que j'utilise pour peindre plusieurs lignes à la fois est fabriqué par moi-même. Tout ce que j'ai utilisé, c'est une très vieille brosse, qui était prête à aller à la poubelle. Voici un lien vers une vidéo sur ici comment j'utilise et fait ce petit pinceau basique, d'aspect rugueux mais à effet. Je lui ai donné un nom et il s’appelle maintenant un réplicateur. LOL Merci, Paul bit.ly/2HKTDAv
Age shouldn't be a barrier Gayle. I have a list of all the materials I use on my website if it helps. As you have found out, you don't need a lot of equipment, but good reliable (not too expensive) brushes are a must. Here is my website link for you: devonartist.co.uk/materials-i-use-or-recommend-for-realistic-watercolour/
Hi Heather, sadly I don't know the stockists where you are. If you have a look at my product's page, it will give you some ideas on the items you need to search for over cross the water there. devonartist.co.uk/materials-i-use-or-recommend-for-realistic-watercolour/ I'm guessing the Winsor & Newton size 00 brushes should at least be available where you are. Hope this helps, Paul 🎨
Hi TBM, the reference photo and the outline drawing is available with the full real-time video tutorial for this lovely Bear Cub on my website. All my monthly or annual members have access to this and over 100 other video lessons. devonartist.co.uk/memberships/ This is just a tutorial on painting fur tips. :-)
As a guess I would say four layers, starting with a background wash, then light, mid and dark layer tones for the details. Time wise, hard to say, but I would place it around the 15 hours mark. 😊
@@EKS49 No, that's for the whole painting. Many of my more complex paintings take 15-20 hours on average, after all, we should never rush a painting. 😃
Hi Tanja, the brush size is a size 00 which I prefer to use. Here is an affiliate link for you for the brand of brush i use for my detail work. bit.ly/2KiM1Gj If you go to the bottom of the list you will find the size 00, for some reason they seem to start at 0 at the top which is perculiar! LOL Thank you for watching, Paul :-)
Yes it is, this is one I may have bought around 25+ years ago. I think it is a Daler Rowney Spectrum, difficult to say really as the writing has worn off it now. 🤓
@@tanjagusetti7423 Hi Tanja, yes this is the same kind of thing. I made my own version of a rake brush though, just out of an old brush destined for the bin. Take a look at another video I have on here using my 'replicator' brush. Paul ;-) bit.ly/2UOETDS
This information is invaluable C: Thank you for your generosity
You are more than welcome Amagumo. Paul 🎨
I don't know if I'm to old to learn it but I love trying to paint animals.
I believe you are never too old to learn Gayle, go on, give it a go, you may be surprised. 😉
Excellent! Highlights is most difficult to attain. Buy your tips, all of them and especially the values in the underpainting will be so helpful. Robt
Glad it was helpful Robert, thank you for taking a look. Paul 🎨
Thank you for this video and for precious tips!
Glad it was helpful Edna, thank you for looking. 😊

I'm old and have not painted long, what kind of brushes are you useing?

Here is my website link for you: devonartist.co.uk/materials-i-use-or-recommend-for-realistic-watercolour/
where in Canada can we get these great brushes for fur?

@@TheDevonArtist thank you so much!
Do you erase your map as you go?
Hi Dorothy, I do tend to lighten the pencil lines before applying the paint. Paul 🎨
Where can I find the reference photograph?

May I ask how long this took you to do approximately and roughly how many layers do you estimate? Thanks.
As a guess I would say four layers, starting with a background wash, then light, mid and dark layer tones for the details. Time wise, hard to say, but I would place it around the 15 hours mark. 😊
@@TheDevonArtist thanks. Is 15 just for the section in the video? Long time.
@@EKS49 No, that's for the whole painting. Many of my more complex paintings take 15-20 hours on average, after all, we should never rush a painting. 😃
@@TheDevonArtist thanks. I never rush either.
what is the nib you use, please? looked on your materials list but couldn't spot it, looks like a double nib? thanks
Hi Tanja, the brush size is a size 00 which I prefer to use. Here is an affiliate link for you for the brand of brush i use for my detail work. bit.ly/2KiM1Gj

@@TheDevonArtist thanks, is the red one a brush , too ?
Yes it is, this is one I may have bought around 25+ years ago. I think it is a Daler Rowney Spectrum, difficult to say really as the writing has worn off it now. 🤓
@@TheDevonArtist is it a rake brush then , it looked so much like a writing nib lol , brilliant thanks :)

What type of brush are you using?
Hi Julie, I do prefer the Winsor & Newton Cotman Series, size 00 for my detail work. :-)
I wanna send you my drawing where can I find you on Instagram?
