I love this! I have seen many techniques, including 27 layers of paint-what a mess! This helps a HUGE amount with getting the lighting to look real. THANK YOU!!!!
Im about to do a painting of my dog for my dads birthday present, watching this video helped a lot! I just subscribed because i liked this video so much. Thank you!
I struggle with mixing paints to create the colour, knowing what colour i need since artists use colours i wouldnt of dreamed of, creating details, creating fur effects
@@StudioWildlifeI've a question, I never see you Varnish your acrylics. have you ever considered a high gloss varnish on the eyes, a medium gloss varnish for the fur, and a flat varnish on the background ? do you think that would work to enhance the realism ? also, I found some ultra fine acrylic paint pens at Wal-Mart recently, they are amazing for art work, kinda like the way you used acrylic water blend in the water color pens.
I don't really have many pet tutorials on my patreon as most of the pet portraits I do are commissions, I do have a plan to do a charcoal video of my dog Charlie for Patreon though so that will be up there next year. The techniques I use for my lion and tiger pieces are exactly the same as the pet portraits though so the skills from all of my videos are transferable :)
While your demonstration looks fairly easy..I know for a fact even if I follow your instructions to the best of my ability, that I would end up with a painting with the skill level of a baby or possibly a first grader..for some reason I can never look at something I create and think it looks good even if some others say it is ok ..all I can see is a childish impression if I did the work..
All I can see is your face , rest the painting is not visible that much... your commentary without you and much focused art work would have helped more
Great direction given for those of us learning how to paint our pets!! THANK YOU

Thanks for sharing this video with us, Dan. I absolutely loved it! I almost think I can do this…. Well, almost, lol!
Thank you for this! I really want to paint my dog before he passes away. This is his last year
Thanks for sharing your beautiful painting. I hope to develop to this level
This is very inspiring! I loved the process and thoroughly enjoyed your explanation. Thanks for the informative content 💙
Lovely painting! Would be interesting to see a list of the brushes you use and perhaps a list of paints/mediums as well
I go through it all on my longer video on my patreon page 😁
@@StudioWildlife fair enough 😁

Great video Daniel
so lovely
Do you ever glaze to make things lighter? can glaze with zinc white or will it muddy the colors too much?
I struggle with mixing paints to create the colour, knowing what colour i need since artists use colours i wouldnt of dreamed of, creating details, creating fur effects
❤😊 thank you
Love this video Dan, so insightful
Love u guys ❤️
Hello. Are you using a soft or bristle angled brush?
I just started with the background colour
So beautiful. Do you need to glaze at all?
Pięknie ❤
What paper did u use for tracing?
😊
what type of tracing paper is this?
What kind of paper is that ur tracing with and what kind of pen
Tracing paper and I’m guessing charcoal pencil
What kind of paper was used to transfer the image to the MDF? And can I use it on canvas as well?
I actually just used some baking parchment but any form of tracing paper will do, and yes it works on canvas too 😁
@@StudioWildlife wow that's brilliant!! And awesome tutorials btw, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Podrias poner subtitulos en espaňol. Gracias... 😊
One of my therapists dog's has died so I'm hoping I can paint my therapist a picture of him
I think you painted my dog mia 😅
Really easy…. For me this is still too hard
All I can see is your face , rest the painting is not visible that much... your commentary without you and much focused art work would have helped more
