Have you ever wanted to learn how to do a pet portrait? Â In this lesson I teach you how to paint my dog Miles with a fun composition. Â
I’ll talk about how I use the grid method to sketch out my composition from a photo. Â I provide the photo with the grid as well as talk about how to create your own reference photo with a grid using photoshop. Â
From here we block in the painting, tone the canvas and start painting. Â Learn each step in the process, from painting shiny eyes and nose, to using loose brush strokes to indicate fur. Â You’ll see how I layer each part of the painting, and I’ll give you instruction on how and why I layer the paints in this fashion.
You’ll have a ton of fun learning the process for painting a pet portrait, and you’ll pick up ideas you can use in the future for your own paintings as well!
