Thanks so much Rena!🙏🏼

Thanks! Those are definitely the fun parts of painting. The part that makes things suddenly come to life.

Thanks Lise!! I’m thinking of offering some of those in the future. 😊

Thanks!!😊🙏🏻

Thanks so much Kristen!! I sure will. It depends what time of year the whitetail is portrayed in. Deer can range from scruffy to really smooth like on a horse. My deer are usually set in the fall or winter so the fur is a little thicker. With that said I wouldn’t give it to much hair by hair detail because it starts to look like the fine hairs of a wolf. That’s the way I do it anyway. I like to concentrate on light and shadow and as little microscopic detail as I can get away with. Hope that was helpful, I’ll have more videos coming. 😊🙏🏻

Hello, sorry for the late reply! I pencil it on first then use black or sepia fluid acrylic paint to lock in the drawing. Then wash away. 😊

​@@DesMcCaffrey Ok thank you. So then the wash is just a thin coat of paint (oil paint ) with solvent, like say, Gamsol? Thanks. Your painting is so beautiful. Reminds me of Alberta.

Yes, exactly.

I used raw umber on this one.
