Painting Dog Portraits in Oils: A Step by Step Workshop for Beginners to Advanced

Over the years, I have taught hundreds of people to paint using a method I developed specifically for my workshops. Students have ranged from professional artists to complete beginners, some that had never even thought of drawing or painting before.

I painted for many years in acrylic. I still love acrylics for some subjects, but for others, I definitely want to choose oils. My personal take on those two mediums is that acrylics are harder to do but easier to learn and oils are easier to do but harder to learn! The good news is, with a few simple techniques and some clear instruction, you can circumvent all the pitfalls that normally come with learning to paint in oils and jump right into the easier part!

In this book, you will learn:

• the most important thing to understand when it comes to realism


• how to begin a painting so that it is ultimately successful


• how to easily mix the colours you see


• what supplies to buy and how to use them


• how to paint fur and other textures


• how paint eyes that come to life


• painting backgrounds that work

Discover the keys to painting lifelike portraits of dogs with plenty of step-by-step illustrations for every part of the process.
