Painting the family dog, Diego, in watercolor in a small sketchbook. Brian's website: www.brianashmore.com The Perfect Sketchbook from Etchr: etchrlab.com/collections/sket...
I always have enjoyed your videos. Nothing more relaxing than painting what you want and how you want to. I just started filling 3 more myself(different media) and I have been enjoying so much. Thanks and great to see you.wc, charcoal and colored pencil
Just found your channel this morning and so thankful! I love "how-to" videos and to see other peoples' process. Your dog is so cute and your talent amazing! Thank you so much for posting. I've subscribed and will watch all of your videos.
I love this. I paint animals more than anything else, since they are one of my greatest loves. My muse is my cat Liza, an odd eyed long haired petite white beauty, who sadly left this world in 2014...but I have dozens of photos of her.
Yay! I'm glad you're back! I really enjoy your demos and seeing the techniques that you use. Your artwork is very inspiring and I can't wait to see more 😄
Thanks for showing us a step by step way to work. The sound quality is excellent. I appreciate your clear explanations, along with watching how you use your brush. I liked seeing what you did with Payne's gray. As an urban sketcher, I have come to believe that you can only use grays and blacks that you mix yourself from other colors. Thanks for reminding me that sometimes it's just as effective to use Payne's gray.
Brian, Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. I'd like to see more portraits, monochromatic. I have sketched some authors and would like to paint them.
I’m new to your channel. You asked what we’d like to see. I really enjoy your step-by-step demos like here with your dog. It’s beneficial to see your decision-making. Thank you for this wonderful new studio series!!
I love this so much! I really want to paint my dog.. he's a dark brindle frenchie and I have no idea how to paint him without the result being like a blob black dog silhouette! This step by step painting video gave me hope and a lil bit of clue how to paint my dog now.. thank you 🙏
Loved this video. Found your channel tonight! I truly enjoy how you laid in the foundation sketching followed by on-the-page color mixing complimented by showing your palette! I personally would love to see more like this plus insights into roughs for your professional life. Nice video. Enjoy the real-time painting.
I’m glad you’re back making videos again, Brian! Been awaiting for your return :) Happy new year to you and your family! I’ve been wondering about the Etchr sketchbook these past few days and your demo helped me see its performance so thank you and can’t wait for your next vid!
Welcome back and Happy New Year,Brian. I like the sketch of Diego. I enjoy the step by step instructional art videos the most. I like watching the process.
So glad you are back! Thank you for all your expertise, your interest in teaching us and your humor. I love that you explain why you are doing a specific technique. I have gotten great info from all your videos, but I particularly like videos like this one. A how to video. I also liked seeing how you started the drawing...big round shapes that you start squaring up and then get more and more detailed. So again, thank you.
Noreen Kellett Thank you, Noreen! I didn’t mention too much about the childrens book because it wasn’t done in watercolor. Once it’s published, I will probably bring it up again in a video. 👍
Hey Brian, So good to see you and your artistic talent back again! Your work this evening on your family pet looks wonderful and was very entertaining to watch him come to life right before my eyes. Hopefully this will be the first of many sketches and videos of 2020 from you and look forward to seeing much more this year! Take care and talk to you soon. ~ Jeff
Jeff! Great to hear from you... man, I'm the worst at keeping up with everyone. Thanks so much and I will definitely be wandering over to your channel, as well.
Brian Ashmore Studio Hey Brian no worries my friend, you have so much going on with your amazing channel here and with everything else you mentioned, I enjoy watching and don’t expect everyone to put aside valuable time for my silly channel hobby. I enjoy hearing from you when you can get there of course and understand why you can’t while doing all this great and very time consuming art projects just like this one for example that teaches people like me and my friend NammaN the JOAMON just to mention a few . Till next time...Take care!~ Jeff
I was just painting an astronaut when you posted the video. I almost broke my phone screen by clicking at the notification. I'm so happy you're back! Ps. Lovely painting of the lovely animal!
Diego in Etchr return, what more could be ask for. The sound of your voice over was very clear, good choice on the mic. You are a creative person, you will know what the next video will needs to be. Happy and healthy 2020 to you and your family.. The game seems to be going fine, art is always more fun, thanks. Well at least at the end you didnt knock him over, guess we cant turn you in for robot abuse.
Thanks, Essie! You know, I later realized that my voice wasn't even going through the new mic. (head slap). So, I'll address that in the next video. Ha, ha! No robot is safe in my studio.
New subscriber and only my second video I've watched on your channel so I have some catching up to do but please do more, you have a great way of teaching by example, thank you.
Nice one! I find really interesting your thought process on the subject. Maybe you could do a series on diferent kind of subjects. Anyway just dont stop making videos!
Wow...this is really amazing! Diego is beautiful and looks so sweet! Thanks for flipping through some of your artwork in your sketchbook. It's so impressive. I'm happy I found your channel. You have a new fan!
Videos like this and simple tutorials are very useful. I struggle a lot with contrast and saturation on my watercolours... after observing your work, I think I don't dilute my paint properly (I guess I use too much water). Thanks.
This isthe first video I have seen of yours... I couldn't believe my eyes because your dog could be a sibling or parent of my 7 month old puppy! She is the same colours, same ears and looks so similar! What breeds does Diago have in him? i only hope I can paint my Aubie half as beautifully as you paint Diago. So glad I stumbled across your work. to answer your question, I love to learn about technique and ways to improve :)
Sorry about the delayed reply! We aren't completely sure what kind of dog Diego is. We were told that he was part beagle and part shepherd of some kind. I had a lady stop me once when I was walking with Diego to ask what kind of dog he was... she had an identical dog and didn't know, either. Ha, ha. Mystery dog. Thanks so much for watching! Wish I knew more...
Briaaaan! Looks you got a... Lapetite palette with you... How about a check onto the art materials you have gotten lately? Besides showing us the m graham colors you said you've been trying out... Anyways, great videos! Except for the fact whenever I finally start making money from my art (still too young for that) I'll get like... A ton of those gorgeous brass palettes, I mean, who needs food, water and light or even a bed for a few couple months in exchange for some of those beauties? *eh right :p?*
Brian Ashmore Studio thanks for replying it. I saw people using watercolor pencil so they don’t need to clean up after painting. But I like to use standard graphite pencil like you do.
So glad to see you post! Great video. Always nice to see Diego. It's fascinating to watch you draw and see your shape approach and how it comes together.
HE'S BAACK, HE'S FREAKIN' BACK!!! WOO-HOO! And I can tell from your smiling face that you're happy to be back with your buds!
Ha, ha, ha!!! Thanks, Steve! I am and I appreciate the very warm welcome back!!
Thank you for your videos Brian! I hope that you and your family are well. God bless.
Thank you for sharing this. One can learn so much by watching others how they paint! 🙂
I always have enjoyed your videos. Nothing more relaxing than painting what you want and how you want to. I just started filling 3 more myself(different media) and I have been enjoying so much. Thanks and great to see you.wc, charcoal and colored pencil
I loved this. Love your tutorials and reviews. Thank you!
Love to watch the step by step as I am learning how the layering of watercolors work. Your techniques are wonderful to watch.
Very beautiful. Love to watch you colour. Love step by step demos. Please do more videos
As a watercolourist myself I like to watch other artist's process when painting. Beautiful painting!
Nathan Dixon Thanks!! I appreciate the feedback. 👍

yeah but this is the most recent video, and it's 3 years old, unfortunately i don't think more videos will come :/
@@banenasplit that’s ok. You never know….
Love step by step animal videos
Thank you, Mary!
I love this. I paint animals more than anything else, since they are one of my greatest loves. My muse is my cat Liza, an odd eyed long haired petite white beauty, who sadly left this world in 2014...but I have dozens of photos of her.
Love it! These are my favorite kind of videos to watch - step by step and seeing how the magic comes to life!
Thanks so much!! Noted!
Incredible artist, love your style.
Welcome back! You are so talented! I find you so inspirational! Thanks for sharing on UA-cam!
Yay! I'm glad you're back! I really enjoy your demos and seeing the techniques that you use. Your artwork is very inspiring and I can't wait to see more 😄
Thank you so much, Jessica!
Great demo. I like this type of domo. You give good tips.
I’m happy to see another video from you. I primarily enjoy the step-by-step painting tutorials. However, the occasional product review is helpful.
Thank you! Sounds like a plan. I was thinking mostly demos with a review sprinkled in here and there.
Thanks for showing us a step by step way to work. The sound quality is excellent. I appreciate your clear explanations, along with watching how you use your brush.

Happy New Year, Nikki! Thanks!! Yes, I'm very happy with Etchr's version of The Perfect Sketchbook. Great paper and very nicely made.
Thanks for a great video. Diego looks so much like our beagle Snoopy making this a definite must see.
I'm happy for younthat you perfected a cartwheel. 😅

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Just subscribed and love your channel 😍
Thanks!!
That particular sitting technique is called a sploot and it's one of the most advanced sitting techniques in a dog's arsenal.
Really? Ha, ha. Learn something new every day...
@@brianashmorestudio don't Google image search for sploot. All your sorrows will melt away and no one wants that.
Brian I miss your videos
Nice one! I find really interesting your thought process on the subject. Maybe you could do a series on diferent kind of subjects. Anyway just dont stop making videos!
Thanks, Javier! I will definitely take your feedback to heart. I do plan to mix it up as I go forward.
So nice! What brand of round brush did you use in this painting?
Wow...this is really amazing! Diego is beautiful and looks so sweet! Thanks for flipping through some of your artwork in your sketchbook. It's so impressive. I'm happy I found your channel. You have a new fan!

Was curious what brush you are using? Keeps such a nice point:)
Seems like Loew-Cornell 7020 series
Yes, Amy is correct. It's a Loew-Cornell 7020... and I use them for that exact reason. They are really great at keeping a nice, sharp point.
Thanks to both of you for answering me :)
I wish you back on UA-cam. Heh..
Que the intro song from Welcome Back Kotter!!
Ha ha!!
Nice sketch. Where did you get that palette box?
Thanks! It's from La Petite Palette. It's called the Pocket Box, I think.
What watercolor brand you used for this video?
Briaaaan! Looks you got a... Lapetite palette with you... How about a check onto the art materials you have gotten lately? Besides showing us the m graham colors you said you've been trying out... Anyways, great videos!
Except for the fact whenever I finally start making money from my art (still too young for that) I'll get like... A ton of those gorgeous brass palettes, I mean, who needs food, water and light or even a bed for a few couple months in exchange for some of those beauties? *eh right :p?*
Yeah, no one needs food or water. Pffft. Ha, ha! Yes, that is a palette from La Petite Palette. I love it! I might do a video on it, at some point.
Your voice is pleasant. I enjoyed this type of presentation, but I'm open.
Thanks!!
Hi, I just discovered your channel. Hope you come back (soon)!! In the meantime, I am binge watching your vids. =)
Are you using watercolor pencil to do sketch before painting?
I used a standard graphite pencil. I think it was a 4H.
Brian Ashmore Studio thanks for replying it. I saw people using watercolor pencil so they don’t need to clean up after painting. But I like to use standard graphite pencil like you do.
Where did you go Sir?
**sorry Diego :) their colour markings are almost identical!
Are you still painting?
So glad to see you post! Great video. Always nice to see Diego. It's fascinating to watch you draw and see your shape approach and how it comes together.
Man! Came back down to mention how strong it made the color look when you placed that blue behind him. Really popped the warms.
Thanks, my friend! I kind of got locked into a Burnt Sienna/Payne's Gray loop. Ha, ha. The blue helped a bit.
