The way you lay the fur texture in first building the structure with the direction of the fur is eye opening. I usually lay tones down first then add texture at the end and it never looked as realistic as your did. Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for your message Bee!
I love how you type in how you mixed the colors and why you're doing that technique, thank you for this tutorial! 😊❤️

Incredible painting! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your process. Thank you very much! It has helped me realize that even though my pet portrait may look nearly done I need to push it along further with the darker and medium values. I will remember your name and will check out your website (and online school).
Thank you Dea! I look forward to seeing you in the school!

Absolutely amazing! I love drawing dogs but I can never get the fur texture just right. This was a lovely and helpful example of that! It's also a little tough drawing on that type of canvas, and u did wonderful! Keep at it!

Wow! This is awesome! 👍👍

You are awesome at painting, and I wish I could have your skill at painting faces of dogs, and other things. I have a small CZcams channel. I just started it a little while ago. But anyways... you’re great at watercolors.
Thank you Charlie! Keep at it and the channel will grow.
Wow great work.
Thank you Julie!
Excellent x
Thanks Mary!
Just found your channel Rebecca, thank you for the portrait of my beautiful girl Maggie. I'm new to water colour so this is a bit beyond my capabilities right now, but I'll keep at it until I can paint her as close as possible to your portrait. Thank you for the inspiration. Subscribed :)
You are very welcome! Best wishes to you!
Incredible
Thanks Kerry!
Hi Rebecca, I have a friend who is a wonderful wc painter and sells her work in a gallery in her town which is a summer tourist destination. She paints on YES wc canvas and it works great because the paintings can be easily carried home by the tourists without the hindrance of a frame. YES only comes in certain sizes so I got some watercolor ground (it's like gesso but makes most surfaces accept wc). I have used it on all sizes of gallery wrapped canvas. Just another option. Thanks for your reply and your tutorial.
Hi Joan, thanks for this - lots of fun information to research! I'm interested in trying the YES canvas, and appreciate your suggestion of using watercolor ground on gallery wrapped canvas - this is worth a try! There is so much to learn!
i am amazingly stunned! your so awesome💕😱😱😱😱😱👍
Thank you Tina!
Man u did it so beautifully ❤️
Thank you!
You have really awesome talent bro
Thank you!
Beautiful :)
Thank you! 😊
awesome work
Thank you!
WOOOOOOW 😍😍😍😍😍
:)
it helps me a lottt
when u not rushing it, so i can know how to draw ittt
Alright!
It seems like you are able to get going on the fur very quickly with the hot press.
Most pet portraits on cold press use more washes to achieve depth.
Great work
Tom, thank you! I do mostly use Cold Press in our school.
You are so good teacher thank sir sharing this video
Thank you Nisha!
Hi, I have only used the Krylon but I have the Dorland's too but haven't used it yet. My friend, Carole Hillsbery (the one who sells so many wc on canvas swears by Dorlands. I went to a demo at my local art store (Arizona Art Supply) about a year or so ago and they used Dorland's too. At the moment I am starting a Lab painting in oil. I haven't done much in oil and since this is not a commission, I figured it was a good one to start with. My problem is that I want to do it all. I love wc, pastel, mixed water media and I have a LOT of supplies that I would have to live to be 150 years old to use up. It keeps me busy and I have made so many friends in my art community and I sell some too which is wonderful. I love your Beagle tutorial too. Best, Joan
Joan, I hear you . There aren't enough hours in the day to do everything; I tend to dream about painting at night and can't wait to get up and get working in the morning! Dorland's is good - a bit messy - I think it depends on what you want the final product to look like. Thanks for your messages and best wishes to you!
Awesome
Thank you!
Wow!!
Thank you, Sally!
Superb...
Thank you!
Rebecca, thank you for this tutorial. Your work is beautiful and your lesson was wonderful. I do have a question about the Arches Gallery Stretched paper. I have never seen such a thing. Is this something you do yourself? And why it is preferable to painting with the paper flat. Do you varnish and hang without glass? Thanks so much.
Hi Joan, thanks for your message!
Yes, I create the gallery stretched frame myself using Arches 140 lb. cold press paper and Fredrix stretcher strips. I learned how to do it using Doris Joa's video here: czcams.com/video/3DW-6XQevQ8/video.html
I also create paintings on flat paper and frame them under glass, but I was looking for different methods for two reasons. One, to offer something different at shows in addition to framed paintings, and two, because frames tend to be a bit pricey and this method is much less expensive and fun to do!
Wonderful
Thank you Mary!
Rebecca Rhodes you're very welcome😊
Thank you so much!
You are welcome Kyara!
Fantastic! Someday hope do paint my goldie nearly that well. Color information is invaluable. Only wish you added information about what brushes you are using at different stages of the painting. What range of brushes were you using?
Thank you Monty! This is a Billy Showell #6 fine tip brush. You can watch this in real time at my online school: rebeccarhodes.teachable.com/
thanks a lot for this Video ^_^ think ist your best i have seen until now :)
Thank you!
So beautiful! Amazed to see how many times you are over it, and it pops more and more alive. You have a gift with expressions 👍 Great explanations and I am surprised to see how much dark, there is needed. Just found your channel, hope to learn a lot :) Have you also made rottweilers and cardigan corgies :)?
Thanks Lotte, and yes, it's amazing how much dark is needed. I haven't made rottweilers or corgies yet. Hopefully in the future - so many ideas!
more more moree i love ittt
Thank you!
magnifique travail bravo
Thank you Celinette!
Can you describe the " flick " you do with brush to get fur strokes? Up down, both? Thanks!! Beautiful work!!
Lori, I usually go up with a quick move of the brush, starting at the base where it's thicker and moving away and thinning.
Super sir
Thank you!
This was mesmerizing... I love this. You are so talented!! How long does it generally take you to finish one of these realistic paintings?
Thanks Ashley! This takes 6 to 8 hours, including drying time.
Can you also show the outline in one video? Btw it's perfect! Just amazing! It is so difficult but you made it seem like it's so easy I'll also try it out. I'm sure it won't be as good as this one but I'll try my best. Thank you for the help, I was searching for a tutorial like this for quite long.😊
Hello, you can find the outline drawing in our online school: rebeccarhodes.teachable.com/p/how-to-paint-realistic-pet-portrait-labrador-retriever-watercolor
Wow Rebecca. This is incredible. Must have taken days to complete! May I ask how you would tackle this if it was a chocolate lab! I’m assuming the first layers would be the same but then switch to darker browns at the end? Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
Thank you, Deborah! Yes, you are correct. Layers of color with darker browns and grays. We've got a course in our online school! rebeccarhodesart.com
helpful!
Thank you!
i want to paint a picture for my mom's boyfriend of his dog that passed away. she was a german shepherd mix but i love golden retrievers so when i saw this i had to watch. even though it wasn't the same dog i picked up a lot of tips watching your video. your final product was beautiful.
I'm glad it was helpful, Hannah!
So cool to watch and beautiful. What brushes are you using and how long did it take in real time?
Thank you! This brush is Billy Showell pointed round brush. The painting took about 4 hours.
What brushes did you to create the fur? You’re work is absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you April, this is a Billy Showell brush.
I am truly in love with all of your videos and have learned a lot. Out of curiosity, what are your suggestions to painting a portrait of a dog with long, curly hair? How do you maintain depth, dimension, and highlights/shadows?
Hi Logan, I'm glad these videos are helping you! I'm trying to think of dogs that have long, curly hair. One approach would be to start by putting in the hair with light, watery hues and then building depth by adding darker layers. Do you have a specific breed in mind?
I am slowly painting a Black Russian Terrier (they are pretty much just dark fur, with a hint of eye)
Hey Logan, I just looked up Black Russian Terriers - they sure do have curly hair! I'm looking for a good public domain photo so I can give it a try too.
If you would like, I can send you a few photos of my black russian terrier.
That would be great! rebrho@gmail.com
Thanks so much!
Oh. MY. GOD!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
You are so welcome!
