- In this tutorial I'll share some top tips for painting fur in acrylics. There are some key process to use throughout the painting process to ensure that depth and realism is achieved in our acrylic paintings. Painting realistic fur very much relies on the layering process. Through the use of glazes and detailed layers and by studying the contrast at each stage we can create a highly photo realistic painting.

Thank you so much that's so kind
Really beautiful. I'm hoping to paint a hare-my second wildlife painting! Hope it turns out even half as fantastic as your painting (or even a quarter! 😀)
@@suebarnett-naturegazing thank you so much 🥰. I'm sure it will 😁
@@zaratomsart Thankyou. It was great to get some brilliant tips from your video so I am keeping my fingers crossed! 🙂
I wonder if the dogs would like this one! So realistic they might tackle the tv
Love your work😍. So realistic. Thank you so much for sharing.💐 Very helpful for a beginner like me. 😃
So kind, thank you so much =)
Thank you for sharing your AMAZING talent and processes. Very helpful!! Put aside my acrylic piece for awhile for graphite drawings to get my values down better so appreciate all 3 different mediums-graphite, pastels and acrylics- that you post on! Always look forward to your next video. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much ❤️. So pleased to hear the video was helpful. That's such a great way to work. Graphite teaches us so much about values and contrast. I love working in all three mediums.

Wow,that is a beautiful painting.What is Acrylic glaze??does it go over the painting just to add colour,without spoiling the original details??
Hey, I have a video here on UA-cam where I'm talking through how I use glazes, what they are etc using various painting examples. I'll pop the link here =).

Great job. I'm just curious what you think of oils as opposed to acrylics. Have you tried oils?
Oils were my primary medium years ago but I switched to acrylics because I found the slow drying time of oils frustrating. With acrylics we can keep the paint wet for as long as we need or it dries quickly which means we can work through stages faster. Since I used acrylics I haven't picked up my oils. Oils are a lovely medium but I definitely prefer the faster drying time 😊
@@zaratomsart thank you for this. I tried oil a few times and that's exactly why I didn't like it. It took a very long time to dry. I've never used acrylics so maybe ill give them a try. Thsnks agsin.
What brush do you use?
Hi there. Do you ever paint or draw freehand? Seems a common theme these day to trace everything and just colour In?
I dont ever paint directly onto my canvas without any sketch at all as I have got the background painted and I dont want to get any marks on it that shouldnt be there. So instead I always recommend to freehand the outline on a normal sheet of printer paper and then use transfer paper to put that outline on the surface. This ensures that theres not eraser lines or mistakes in the freehand sketch which may be visible on the background.
But actually you are not freehanding the image but rather tracing. That much is obvious. It's sometimes better just to own it and say that ones doesn't draw freehand but rather traces then colours in🤷. Not having a go just rather stating a point.
@SandraStewart-is8dv I simply stated that when I do freehand I always do that on a separate piece of cheap printer paper rather than freehand directly on my canvas. It's not a matter of owning up to anything. Yes I freehand many things, yes I trace many things as well. It depends how much time I have at that time as I'm creating so many tutorials that it's not always possible to freehand every project.
When you trace an image you're not simply just colouring in. Every placement of the subtle shadows and highlights, markings on the animal which are what make up the three dimensional shape of any painting are not included in any of my freehand or traceable sketches. These are added in freehand with the brushes or pencils during the painting/drawing process as the layers are built up.
I do apologise if you felt I didn't answer your first question fully or was not being honest. That was not my intention at all. I don't have any secrets in any aspects of my art. I'm always happy to answer any questions =)
so many teeny tiny brush strokes!
😁😁
Also don't see brush sizes? Would be helpful .Some artists tell what size brushes for each step.
All of that information is provided on the Patreon real time tutorial.
Too fast. Can't see anything even when slowed down. You do not engage me as a follower. Good luck to you.
