Finished Painting
The following tutorial series covers just over 7 hours. There are key parts with colour coding and narration, and some extra parts which show footage only.
In this piece I use the background to give you lots of ideas on creating both detailed foreground grass, as well as a more distant blurred look further away. Often I have to create garden surroundings in my portraits, and that’s why many of my tutorials are more focused on the background elements. These were what I struggled with most in the beginning!
I have included the real time footage of the dog, but if you want a more in depth look at this breed I have another white Spitz in my library with colour codes and narration.
The first three parts are the most detailed here, focusing all my efforts on teaching you how to create painterly, believable backgrounds.
