Our little pup girl was Abby. The main reason I was drawn to this was the color of your pups hair. Abby was blond with brown eyes and pink brown nose. She was a stray that survived the streets her first 4 months then someone we knew, caught her. I worked finding homes for lost pups at the time and she was mine to place. But when I went to take pictures of her, she came home with me. She didn’t do well with other dogs, as she had learn to fight for everything by the time we got her, but she loved people. We lost her due to a brain mass which started causing horrible seizures, on March 20, 2023. She was 13. Gosh, she was beautiful and precious to us. But this dog’s colors reminded me a little of her. I may just have to try this for her. I’d imagine you give many people a piece of their beloved pups they can cherish the rest of their lives. That’s an honorable thing to do. Thanks for sharing with us. ✌🏻🤍.
I stumbled across this video and it relighted my art journey! I have not done many pet portraits due to the stress and anxiety it gives me to people please.. but I do love to draw and sell my prints. I like your approach. I don’t work well if it’s too structured. I work all over the place on my pieces.
As someone who has lost confidence since covid and not done a pastel portrait since then, this has given me some excitement to start again. I miss it so much but talk myself out of starting each time. 🙏
Don’t think just start small. From anywhere at any point. Before you know it you will move forward.
My goodness, I completely understand you. That's so sad to hear, but I hope you find a little spark that allows you to begin something you love. It's all about removing pressure, expectations and rules. Finding our little inner artistic child means we can learn to enjoy art freely and play with it again. I struggle with oil painting in the same way you describe, you're not alone there!
This amount of work would have taken me weeks not under one hour LOL. You're awesome and have subbed.
I’m inspired straight to Amazon for some of these materials thank you ❤❤
It's a slippery road Julie ;) enjoy your new supplies!
Exactly what I needed, the dog is even similar!
One of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. Amazing!! Thank you!!
❤How magnificent they are! I did not realize that a pet portrait could be so exquisite!
Thank you so much!

Never tried pastels. But after watching this great tutorial, I'm inspired to try. Beautiful, Emily!
Wow thanks so much. I really appreciate this lesson.
that was a great tutorial, i really enjoyed watching you create this. Thank you!

I remember that gum eraser from art school 1975. I even remember the smell.
Emily you're so talented thank you so much for your time and brilliant tutorial 👏❤
Thank you so much 😊
Muchas gracias por compartir como realizas tu arte en tiempo real !!!
Thank you for getting back to me I look forward to seeing it have a great new year 🌈🐨🌻
This was actually great and well taught. Reminded me of my beloved dog❤
This is lovely - portraits of dogs are my favorite!
Thank you!
This wasn't just a tutorial, it was a masterclass for beginners. Your drawing was fabulous! (and it looked a bit like my wire-haired Vizsla called Bramble).
Your comment has honestly made my day, thank you so much! You should give it a go with a picture of Bramble :) I'm actually giving away a free pet portrait in a few weeks. If you upload a YT short of your own pet portrait drawing using the hashtag #CZcamsShortsPets by the 24th then you might just win one ;)
Thank you for the inspirational video!
Good grief the talent.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS & BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH!! Emily, you have now convinced me to try out Pastels lol. Thank you for this wonderful Video. Luv it!!
Wow just wow. That little doggie looks so life like. I want to stroke him. His fur looks so tactile. Explained beautifully. You sure have a amazing and rare talent. I'm in awe.
Thank you
Very beautiful!
I’m new to art.. mostly sketching and water colour.
I gave away some pastels.. as that medium didn’t appeal to me.
I had not realised there was such a thing as pastel pencils!
Your tutorials has inspired me to buy some and attempt.. a pet portrait.
Go for it!
Seven minutes in and I am already amazed
Thank you so much!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you!!
Gracias excelente video
Awesome thank you. I paint with acrylics and do pet portraits but would love to do pencil drawings as well. I had no idea how to start thank you so much!
Thanks!
😂 I found myself trying to blow the pencil dust away......it's been a long day! Lol
haha, I do that too, on every pastel tutorial I watch 😄
Me too. Then I thought, “What the heck am I doing?”
@@dr.ayeshahunter3944 🤣 I'm glad I'm not the only one ❤️
@@dr.ayeshahunter3944 I subscribed to your channel btw, I like what you're doing there 😊 I'm thinking of going to school to become an addiction counselor.
And me lol
I was taught with Faber Castell colored pencils but I’m intrigued with the pastel pencils, especially with the fur.
Thank you Emily, just starting to learn this medium and appreciate everything about your channel.
You're so welcome!
Wow, just wow
Really appreciate this. ❤️🐕💙
I am so happy to have found your channel. I have been off drawing for some time and you have just inspired me to try again. I love your way of teaching, so encouraging and calming. Subscribing right away. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you very much, it is the best video on this subject I ever seen. And I learn more english with you ! (I am french)
Thank you so much! Great way to help learn another language too 🇫🇷
I love pet portraits. Your drawing was stunning and you were so easy to follow . I think mine came out good as well.
belo desenho realista feita por uma maravilhosa artista 5 estrelas ❤❤❤❤🖐🖐🖐
Very nice results! You are a great teacher!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this tutorial kind lady😊😊😊😊😊
Super awesome talent! Thank you for sharing it with us. Happy holidays! 😊
Well done Emily. Really enjoyed.
Thank you!
Genuinely loved this tutorial. I am an amateur pet portrait artist and have really struggled with soft pastels and fur. This really helped. Thank you
That’s great Hollie! Best of luck with your work, dedication honestly pays off 😊
Expertly taught and demonstrated. Wonderful result, too. I look forward to more. Thanks so much. It would have good if you could have explained how to create the initial outline, so you know where to place the eye, etc. I think I would have found the proportions difficult.
Браво. Шикарный урок
Very Beautiful Work Thank You
Totally amazing Emily! You do beautiful work!
Thank you!
@emilyrosewildlifeart-paste9820 when using pastels, do you need to use a fixative of some sort to prevent smearing?
Fantastic art love it thanks👍🏼
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing this
Thank you!
Excellent presentation. thanks for explaining what you're doing. you do i quite well. Thanks and God bless.
I appreciate that!
Excelente trabajo felicidades esta precioso ❤😊
I wanted to see you draw the outline too Emily x
Hi Simon, this was a leftover outline from an in person class so it’s just a trace. You can see how to do transfers in the link below the video though 😊
Great
I watched this and another of your tutorials yesterday, you are quite awesome so talented !! I learnt so much,,being a newbie at pastels,I realised my underpainting lacked depth so the contrast between light and dark fur was hard to achieve.Thank you for taking the time and sharing so many invaluable tips.Wishing you a Happy New Year.
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful!
Thank you. I did a few pastel works of one of my old dogs, but wasn't really satisfied. I see now where I could have improved them. He was a spinger spaniel.
Great work👏🏽
Beautiful painting thanks
Thank you! Cheers!
wow!!!!

Fab tutorial.
Thank you so much!
Just brilliant thank you
Thank you!
Loved watching you work. I am wanting to learn doing pet portraits and this helped. But I would love to see you draw a black dog. I have 3 black and tan dogs I want to do portraits on. Black fur is a little harder for me than lighter. Will be watching your videos. Thanks.
Thanks Karie! Yes, black fur can be hard (be grateful they aren't white!). I'll be cracking our new content next year :)
it is a best tutorial❤
So kind!
I found this tutorial really useful, thank you, I've subscribed 👍
Awesome, thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful work new sub love the channel thank you for sharing this Daniel army strong
Wow😮😮😮😮
Thank you!
👍👍👍
What an inspirational tutorial. My niece sent me this as I love to paint dogs, but fur gives me pains. :D One question though. How do you finish off the piece to keep it from smudging or fading by being touched? Thanks so much!
I would have liked to see the process of drawing the dog prior to adding color
Hi, this was a left over piece of paper from an in person class so they were all done with a projector - about 15 of them! That’s why there’s no footage 😊 I have linked in the bio to a video showing transferring processes
I found you by searching for acrylic pet portraits. I am amazed at your talent and how well you explain. Thank you.
Questions:
How do you seal to protect ?
Do you ever paint portraits in acrylic? I’m already invested in acrylics.
Thank you so much.
Really good…I want to gift my wife a drawing class but was thinking a weekend residential course or maybe a week long residential course. Hotel or B&B nearby would also be ok. If you ever think of doing it I’d be interested.
🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really loved this video. The new course about pet portraits that will appear in 2024, is it already online?
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. You are awesome at directions. You have a wonderful God given gift and sharing it is so kind of you. I love how you give the color names of the pencils too. I’ve been wanting to draw my sweet schnauzer for several years. She is mainly gray but I don’t have a clue what color pencils to purchase. Do you mind telling me which ones would be best please? She’s light gray with some silver and of course some dark here and there. I will definitely be following you. Thank you again. Linda
You're artwork is amazing, I've started doing pet portraits in pastels, do you add backgrounds?
Again, you are amazing!! I tried to sign up for your news letter but I didn’t receive the email to confirm? I tried twice to be sure. I want to learn about your 2024 masterclass and more. Thank you, Patti
First class tutoring.👌🏾have you done a German shepherd?
Hello Emely, can you do a tutorial how to transfer from the original photo illustration to the master mat paper? Thank you
Hi, I have a video for that on my channel 😊 it’s the outline of the kingfisher 👩🎨
Thank you, Emely
You are beautiful, lady!
Thank you! 😊
Nice
Very helpful
Cheers Ruth!
Thank you. Is they’re any other paper you can use. as pastel mat is very expensive I have the pencil and pan pastel. love them I all so do pencil thanks again Form Australia stay well and and safe🦘🐨💐
Hi! I'm going to do a full review early next year to suggest some more affordable options :)
Lovely tutorial! Where can I find the line drawing please?
Hi Emily! I have followed several of your lessons to date and have found them extremely useful as I try to come to grips with pastel pencils. However, I am experiencing a problem that is marring the finished work. I do not seem to be able to 'lose' the tooth of the paper in some areas. Is it simply that I am not applying enough pastel, not blending it sufficiently, or what? I would welcome your advice.
Hi Joe! So beautiful! Very clearvtutorial, I love it! I just got my BC set of 60 pieces. I think I can start painting my dog😊 can you please expl how do you do the sketch in a big size? I have not idea!🫣 please your guide is very important. 🙏 I just subscribed to your channel.
Terrific tutorial, I love my pastel pencils, I use the sams FC pitt pencils. The biggest problem I have is layering light over dark I can never get it right, don't know what I'm doing wrong, so frustrating.
Most likely, the dark layer is too thick. I work is fairly light layers to avoid that issue :)
I have 2 questions. , when you paint on pastel mat , isn't that what they use to cut the mats out of for the frames ?
Next question is are you drawing out your picture and calibrating it as you draw or do you use another method ?
Thanks. Great video you made.
Hi Joe! So no, sadly pastelmat that I use isn’t the same stuff. It’s probably pricier but has a totally different texture, almost like a velvet. Yes, this is all drawn out ahead of time. You can find a transferring method video on my channel 😊
