Amazing result. Do you use any glazing mediums or only water?

@zaratomsart

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Christine, just water :)

Thank you for the excellent study! What color did you use for the glaze

@zaratomsart

2 жыл бұрын

My pleasure =). Erm... I used a few glazes I think. But it depends on the light source. Usually a mixture of a blue (ultramarine blue usually) black or possibly some dioxazine purple if the colour is a little warmer. Sometimes black fur reflects browns as well so it just depends. Something like this in the video more blues and purples in the mix.

She doesn’t tell you all the specifics .. because its a matketing ploy for her patreon .. which tbh is fair play . Artists do need to make a living … But yeah - she goes into all the small fundamentals on her patreon.

How do you decide whether to do the dog in acrylic or pastel??

@zaratomsart

Жыл бұрын

Great question! For me, this now mainly falls down to what my Patreon members would like to see featured as I try to tailor the content there as much as I can. But when I was just doing pet portraits and a client asked my opinion on what medium would work best I always decided once I saw the photos. If the dog for instance had a really soft looking coat I would likely sway more towards pastels as the blending can be done so easily at each required layer. That's the only real time I'd be definitely deciding between one medium or the other. Other than that pastels and acrylics are very similar in how we work with them so I'd let the client decide if they have a strong preference =).

Did you use acrylic paint for the purple glaze ?

The colours and brushes I've used are all on the Patreon tutorial. The colours are predominantly mars black, titanium white, ultramarine blue and dioxazine purple. This is my go to palette for black fur depending on how warm or cool the fur looks. Black fur is really reflective so it can pick up browner tints as well.
