Thank you for your tutorial explaining in depth how to paint a dog. I've done many sketches of my puppy before he passed. He was beautiful as he lay right beside me when I did. I've not painted an animal but have a deep desire to paint him in acrylics. Your channel came up 1st in my search. I'll be watching for more videos😊❤

You are extremely good art instructor, I find this video very helpful. Thank you very much.

Another great tutorial 😊. My next animal painting will be a dog so perfect timing ⏱️❤. Currently working on a tuxedo shorthair cat. First time I’m using a grid (squares) and only doing small sections at a time. I love how fast it looks real and that for sure gives me a feeling of ‘atta girl, you got this!’ and keeps me working on it rather than being frustrated with the ‘ugly stage’ all over the canvas.

Definitely. I prefer working on small sections for that reason. I also find that if I work in whole set layers that it's easier to rush which can impact the finished painting.

Hi Zara, There should be an award for the best tutor on KZread and Patreon, you would surely win it. You give so much information on everything you do, you show the pallet with the acrylic projects which for students is important, AND you always display the reference which I feel is SO important! We can see the steps on why you are using a certain colour mix or paint a certain stroke. Others may as well be making it up as they go along. Thank you ❤

I find by breaking each section of fur up into individual layers it feel less daunting so we are able to work through and paint more effectively. Only focusing on one layer at a time makes a huge difference =)

Hi, I classify myself very much as a beginner teaching myself through brilliant tutorials such as these. I am thinking of signing up to Zaras Patreon but worried I may be trying to run before I can walk. Are the videos appropriate for all abilities? I really want to paint my chocolate lab one day. 3:04

What do you use to map out the white lines?

I've used transfer paper to ensure my canvas stays clean =)
