Watercolor Painting Lesson - Dog Portrait


Have you ever wanted to learn to paint a watercolor portrait of your dog? Step-by-step, Cyrille Jubert leads an online tutorial in painting a dog's portrait in watercolors.

Here, the subject of the painting demonstration was a dog of the Deutsch-Drahthaar breed, a versatile hunting dog developed in Germany in the 19th century. Dog lovers familiar with the Griffon may recognize a common ancestor in the pronounced eyebrows of the Drahthaar dog.

Notice that from the first brush stroke, each lock is painted in the sense of the fur. From the beginning to the end, whatever the size of the brush, you should always comb the hair and remember that each brush stroke will be seen by transparency.

As always, the success of a dog's portrait depends on the artist's ability to recreate the texture and line of the fur, as well as a lifelike rendering of the eyes and nose.
