Painting a realistic blue merle Border Collie in acrylics.

In this video I am painting a large A2 size realistic blue merle Border Collie called Ghost using acrylic. There is a larger head study and then a smaller action study of him doing his heelwork. I talk a little bit about my process and the decisions i made for the painting and also talk a little about the subject. I do have an existing tutorial for the white fur on his neck and chest which i will link to below and may do more tutorials from this one too...maybe the tongue. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you for watching and for any support you can give so that I can improve this channel and my content.

Stunning painting of a beautiful dog! I hope to paint my two and another we lost recently. If I can get anywhere near that level of detail...I think I would wet myself.

Whenever I watch any of your videos I’m amazed at how good they are. Your attention to detail is incredible, I only started drawing and painting during lockdown so I doubt I will ever be as good but thank you for the inspiration.

This is stunning, there is something about your acrylic paintings that is so crisp and clean I use water mixable oils but this makes me want to try acrylics xx

Thanks to all that watched Ghost and in particular those that watch until the end. Please find the tutorial for his thick white fur here...:

I know you do a lot of your own photography. Any tips on getting the "perfect shot"?
