How to Paint ANIMAL EYES in Watercolour (Dog Eye Painting Tutorial)

Рет қаралды 11,137

Күн бұрын

Let me share my professional experience, and teach you how to paint animal eyes in watercolour in 20 minutes.
This video will give you a good grounding in the techniques and methods I use when painting lifelike, sparkling animal eyes. The eyes will make or break a portrait, so the more practise we get with them, the better. I go through the whole process from start to finish, and I include the area around the eye so that the eye becomes 'part' of something.
I painted the whole study using two brushes, and some handmade paper sent to me by Panart Global. If you would like to see my full review of these brushes: bit.ly/3jZNuQv

I believe there is a difference between a paint-along and a lesson, and I'm not sure where "tutorial" lies on that continuum, but this is definitely in the paint-along group.

That was a phenomenal tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to share your talent with us newbies. Love how you went back at the end to show which brushes you used. Also, I didn't have a white opaque paint color so you prompted me to purchase that one.

Hi Scottish Bunny, yes I do have a few for drawing out the outline. I do like to use transfer paper for doing this to save time, here is the link for you: bit.ly/3aJsmN1

Hi! This was a great video. I seem to have trouble with wolves and their eyes. I want to do a painting of a timber wolf but it's the eyes I'm a little gun-shy about. Maybe I overdo the painting but when I've tried them in the past they end up looking like a dog.

@TheDevonArtist 2 жыл бұрын

I know they are a little tricky to paint Rhonda. Sometimes they seem a little too small when you paint them as well. I find by getting the main line drawing as accurate as you can, then zooming into the reference photo on an iPad, PC etc, seems to help. 😀
