This is a tutorial on how to paint your own pet portrait without having a background in art. I myself do pet portraits but went to the Slade School of Fine Art in London England, however I learned some tricks along the way for those who have no clue about drawing or art. Hope you enjoy creating your very own painting of your pet!
Here are the colors I used:
Titanium White French Ultramarine Blue Burnt Sienna (a brown) Burnt Umber (a dark brown) Alizeran Crimson (a red) Cadmium Yellow Cadmium Orange
Other colors that are a good beginners palate: Cadmium Red Yellow Ochre
Mars Black (however you can mix black from the primary colors, or create a nice off black by mixing burnt sienna and ultramarine blue) My tip is to never use real black in your painting except in tiny quantities.
If you find that the graphite has dirtied your picture, simply wash it off with soap and water.
If you let the painting dry between layers, or if you blow dry your painting between layers, you will be able to erase any mistakes you make on the top layer with a little warm water and a sponge.
Tip: Change your water constantly so that it is clear. If you mix colors with muddy water you will get a muddy painting
Tip: For fine lines and edges make sure to add a little water for a smoother easier to paint line.
Tip: Dole out the money for the smallest brush sizes, as buying a cheap small sized brush will just cause you heart ache and frustration.
This same method can be used for painting any animal or human portrait.
See you next time!!!!!

I have no video, but I will most certainly try this one day. I should have in my art class, but that class just ended and I only recently watched this. :P My scanner is also not big enough to get them on deviant art. But any dog art videos are nice!
This is pretty neat. I may try it. Actually, I would like to, it's just a matter of the supplies and having the health to do so. Thank you very much for the tutorial you post. I do enjoy them. Ann
