Tips on Painting a Curly-Haired Dog in Watercolor!
In this clip from a recent Live Online Watercolor Pet Portrait Workshop, I discuss how to relay "the idea" of hair, rather than painting every single hair, demonstrating on an adorable curly-haired GoldenDoodle!

Grab a cup of tea and hang out with me while I discuss my process for SIMPLIFYING a reference photo for the smoothest transition into a watercolor painting! I talk about how I choose my colors and the method I use in order to really capture the values and not get bogged down by the details. I will use a reference photo of a bulldog from Unsplash.com by Curated Lifestyle to demonstrate this proc...

Are all of these colours Lightfast?
Yes:) Every color on my dot card has a lightfast rating of 1, Excellent.
I'm confused about quinacridone gold. If the paint is still available why are some people selling tubes for $300 each claiming it has become unavailable?
I guess because people are greedy? I could always be wrong about it as well! I need to ask John Cogley what the exact situation is.
That painting is amazing!!! Looks like he could jump off the page and give you a big lick!!!!
Thank you!!
Wow memory unlocked!!remember the Strathmore Excalibur paper! It was on 1999 or so the last time was in display in Michaels
You are the first person to remember this paper!
I love this little pup! He looks so curly! I just want to reach out and pet Butters' fuzzy head. 😆🤣
Me too!!!
You are an awesome teacher, Ashley! Besides the valuable painting tips I've learned through your channel, I've also realized how beautiful silver black velvet brushes are. 😍😍😍
awe, thanks so much! xo
Ashley, can you type a step by step of exact steps using procreate? Including the filters you use and the palette making steps?
Absolutely! When I have a minute, I could probably do that! In the meantime, there are tons of free tutorials all over CZcams on how to make a palette in Procreate! That's how I learned! I LOVE the internet!!
I can hear you fine.
Thank you for the opportunity to try the Fabriano Artistico paper and your favorite DS colors! It's a sweet deal.
Absolutely! Just packaged them up for you and they will head your way in the morning!! ENJOY!
Hi Ashley. Could you do some workshops on swatching and mixing? I would love to learn!
What a brilliant idea! Both of those things are embedded throughout my workshops, but it would be so cool to have a workshop dedicated to them!! Thanks, love it!!
@@ashleyhawkeswatercolor I just LOVE your color enthusiasm and like you said, it's an art in and of itself!
thank you for inspiring me to play with watercolors <3
That's ALWAYS my goal!! YAY! Thanks for the comment!
I think there’s something wrong with the website that you’re using because I went to order some Daniel Smith dot cards and paper just one pack which was $10. I live in Australia and the cheapest shipping was $200 and went up from there.
I am so sorry for the frustration! I am not currently set up to ship outside of North America. I am in the process of figuring it out! If you email me ashwatercolor@gmail.com I will just go around my website and see if we can make it happen!!
Such a cute women. You are as beautiful as your are talented. 🥰
🤗
Does coffee count for our teatime chat? 😆Keep the awesome videos coming!
Yes Elizabeth, it counts!!! Thanks for being here!!
That's pretty funny hahah 😬😁
Napoleon dynamite music!!!😝😭
These are all so cute ❤
Thank you Paige!
I love these sketchbooks and how you experiment and play in them. It’s inspiring me. I’m learning a lot from your videos today. Thank you so much for sharing
That makes me so happy!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!! Happy painting!
Have you tried any bamboo watercolor paper? I picked up a small sample pad but haven't tried it yet. Also prefer a bright white watercolor paper. I think it really does make a difference in the true color of the paints.
I know Hahnnemule makes bamboo and agave papers, but I have yet to try them! One of my students has been using the bamboo and had a hard time softening edges on it. Once she switched to Fabriano Artistico Cold Press, she was able to soften edges and lift better. But I still want to try it! Thanks for your comment! xo
I got lots of birds! I’m a bird mom. I’m not a fan on yellow ochre either.
Bird Mom! Love it!!
You go girl!!! Keep up the awesome vids! You are killing it.
Thanks so much friend!
As usual you have so many great wonderful tips and information I have to watch again to make notes. I really like the individual swatch card idea.
Thank you! So glad you are getting some good info out of it! xo
I love that you have such gorgeous detail and realism all while this is also loose looking- I love it! I struggle simplifying! Great advice here! Thanks!
Thank you! That has been a long time goal for me and I'm glad I can share what I have learned!
What a great place to Create. 🎉 I can tell you are happy there. 💕 I love my wee studio, too. 🌸🌸🌸
It really is! Thanks so much!!
Those ears! 💕 😊
The best!
lol 😬
It will grow quickly! You’re authentic, fun, knowledgeable! Can’t wait to see more!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊

😊🩷💛🧡🙏🏻
Yay! I'm so happy for you, and happy that you are growing! I wanna say I was subscriber 150-something. :)
Elizabeth, You’ve been there since the beginning! 🩷
801 now 😊
Thank you!!!! 😊 😭🥰
I love your work!! I feel so inspired after watching! Thank you for the video and sharing of your beautiful paintings! ❤❤
Thank you so much 😀 I enjoy sharing and I’m so glad you are enjoying it too!! 🩷💛🧡
Love your video but why all the science of mixing colors? It is discouraging. I love my colors as I go along with my painting.
I can totally understand how that could be discouraging! I’m a bit of a color nerd, but if that isn’t for you, you do you! I love how many convenience colors are available out there! Thanks for your comment!
Just throwing this out there. I use to be a professional makeup artist and now retired I have a lot of empty shadow palettes, containers for lip products, and such. The makeup industry has so many palettes for travel needs and as you used the vitamin containers makeup containers work as well. Many of the plastic makeup certified containers are higher quality because of regulations (so makeup oils don't eat away at the container). I even use some of the makeup brushes for liquids to do my watercolors.
SUCH a great tip!! Thank you!!
How small this world is! My husband and I are currently living with my parents & I grew up in Idaho. We were thinking of moving to Preston since my husband's family is all in UT and I have half of my family in UT as well. I saw your listing a while ago, and thought it was beautiful. It's just not within our price range sadly.. But I still look for inspo so when we find a house we can afford we have an idea of how we want to design/decorate 😆
That's so crazy! Preston is a great little area and the people are incredibly nice! We moved here for the same reason-our family is in Utah, mainly Cache Valley and we wanted to be close but not too close! Good luck on house hunting!
I hope you sell your house quickly. I assume you’re staying in Utah. All the best on your move.
We are headed to St. George Utah! Thank you!
This seems like an ideal home. It’s beautiful, with so much potential to be whatever anyone would want it to be! Maybe I’ve missed it on your channel - where will you move to?
It is so lovely and it's breaking my heart to let it go! We are most likely headed to Southern Utah, St. George! My husband is having to retire from construction and has been applying for construction management jobs in a few places. And with our daughter's disability, the cold snowy winters have been extremely hard on her!
@@ashleyhawkeswatercolor I’ll be praying for your family- that’s a lot of change! God has the perfect place & plan for you all! I am a recent subscriber- I am also an artist with my studio in the home, it’s fun to find other like minded people out there in this world!
@@hannahcrumley3103 Oh thank you so much!! I absolutely believe that and feel aligned with His perfect plan! It is bittersweet to leave but I am also excited to see what adventures await us!
So good! 20 years ago I packed away my watercolor supplies. I rarely painted at home (either out in nature or in group at teacher’s studio ). Just realized all my supplies were travel sized. Now I’m diving into acrylics + mixed media abstracts but wanted to review my watercolors and stuff from before. I’m not rushing to the store but think I could easily fall in love with watercolor sticks as I discovered and love tempura sticks. Thanks for inspiring video! I’m packing a travel kit tomorrow 😂
Christy that makes my heart so happy!! I did the same and packed away my watercolor supplies when I started having babies 21 years ago. I didn't get them out again until about 2015 when my youngest was 4! It has brought such magic and joy into my life and I am so glad we have this magical medium at our fingertips!! Enjoy!
This is what edit is for. Major headache thanks!
Ok thanks for the feedback! :)
Is your standup pencil case the same one in the Amazon link?
No, sadly I couldn't find mine anymore! Boooo! They only offer a slim version. I will keep looking though!!
Just found your channel, glad this is the first video i see. Feels to go on a journey to get to know you. Love your explanations, superlove your style and way to explore the colours. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awe thank you for watching and commenting! xo
Could you do a tutorial for handmade sketchbook? Thanks
Yes absolutely! It's in the works!!
Damn I wish I could inherit some artist grade watercolors 😅😅
Right?!? I still pinch myself!!
Thanks for showing us your travel stuff. I really liked the micro portable Painter but where do you get the inserts to have more colours?
You are so welcome! The inserts come in either a separate kit you can buy *or* they sell a kit with both the micro and classic that includes the expansion pans:)
woah you've finished LOADS of sketchbooks!! 😮
Yes, it’s been a very meditative experience and it’s fun to look back through them! 💗
Learned so much! When I painted watercolor I chose to narrow down my paper choice to just one, Arches CP 140#. Everything else could vary. I put that aside for 20 years now diving in to so much, acrylics, different materials, and going through a pink cloud. Learned from you about Daniel Smith watercolor ground just now and the possibility of paper degrading. I like your teaching style and would definitely love a workshop on making journals. Thanks!
Thank you Christy!! 💗
I tought the long version was also here on your you tube but i cant find it anymore. Can you help me where i have to look. Thanks you in advance
Hello! yes, so sorry! I had accidentally posted it and had to make it private again because it was a video that only my workshop students have access to! But since it was my mistake, I will send you the link! I believe I still have your email!
@ashleyhawkeswatercolor no problem thank you for responding
