Thank you very much!!I couldn't find video about white fut, and fortunately, I met your!!👍🙏❤
You're welcome! Another helpful video for white at th-cam.com/video/VQOpAzogfJQ/w-d-xo.html
Also check out my full length barn owl tutorial. Not white fur, but a whole white bird which is helpful for colours needed on white fur also.
What a beautiful picture, thank you xx
Great information Emma! I just finished an Alpaca on dark gray pastelmat . The warm tones you showed would have worked so much better.
I just love the faces of these adorable pooches. Amazing detail.
Emma - this is beautiful. Thank you for doing these tutorials. I'm just starting out and really excited about it. Sue from Sydney
I love this picture. I’m a complete beginner, but this is exactly what I aspire to. Spaniels and labs are my passion.
Thanks Alex, and I noticed your name pop up on Patreon. I have help with Spaniels and Labs there :-)
So helpful thank you Emma!
Just amazing!
Hi Emma thankyou so much for this video so lovely to see your work up close it's amazing. It's really helped me with the direction of the fur. I'm painting my Black and white Breton Spaniel at the moment complete black face, a lot more practising to do yet , thanks again, so inspiring.
You're welcome Angela :-)
Inspired by your work, I made a painting of my sister-in-law’s Spaniel. Sadly, Chester, died last year and I did the work for her as a memory of the dog. She has framed and hung the painting at her home, so impressed was she and a filip for me. I worked on dark grey Pastelmat, but I used PanPastels and Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils.
Thanks for the inspiration.
That's wonderful to hear Guy! With practise anyone can get better at this so enjoy the process. Sounds like you're off to a great start :-)
I appreciate your in-depth explanations of your process and techniques using Pastelmat. I currently use Uart sanded paper that I'm really comfortable with, but I hope to try Pastelmat on one of my next projects. Thanks for your instructions and inspiration!
Thanks for the comment Rita! Pastelmat is not that far away from UART, at least the finer grits. You'll enjoy it I hope.
Great video thanks 🙏
Thankyou so much Emma!! that has helped me with the painting I am doing now.
Amazing and very helpful video thank you for posting

Sweet painting thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.
this is wonderful!! love watching you work
Thanks Emma for this video. I've been working on velour paper a lot and loving it. But now want to try Pastelmat for my pet portraits. The fur tutorial really helps!
Thank you for great advice. Greetings from Russia 👨🎨
Amazing technique and inspiring experience. Thank you for sharing Emma. I have just completed my first painting on the velour paper. Thank you for all the tips and instructions
Amazing thank you.
Oooo, thank you! Have you a short demo for blond fur too, for a labrador? Thank you so much
I have tutorials on my Patreon channel for blonde and white fur. If you search for the three small dogs timelapse on my TH-cam you can learn a lot from that one about blonde fur also. Painting a golden lab next so this will be made into tutorials soon :-)
@@EmmaColbertArt wow, thank you
Hi Emma. What a great job! Can you tell us which pastel brand do you use. Best regards. Jocelyne
Hi Jocelyne, I use mostly Unison. You can see links to all materials used in the description :-)
I know you might have been asked this many times over, and maybe someone else might be able to answer for you, but do you use a fixative on your pastel mat?
I never use fixative. It dulls the colours and it just isn't necessary on Pastelmat especially as it holds the layers really well. Framed behind glass or stored flat between sheets of paper/glassine is enough.
What colour did you use on the spaniel with the brown ears for its mouth at the side.. And colours you used for its ears
Hi Anya, there are many colours used in this piece, I don't have the list to hand. If you'd like to see this whole piece with colour codes popping up as I work it's one of the many tutorials available on my Patreon. The link below has all the parts to this project. It's really in depth with a narrated part on just the curly ears also. It's pretty cheap to join even just for a month if this is the only one you're interested in.

Beautiful work, what are your favorite pastels?
Unison, but I also like Terry Ludwigs and a few other brands. My favourites are usually the most expensive due to the quality and lightfastness of them. But I am pretty addicted to Unisons :-)
Emma... I am a patreon. Can you tell me if this is portrait is available as a lesson. If love to do it.
Hi Ray, this one has not been made into more tutorials yet. I would like to revisit the spaniel at the top. But there is another video in the full catalogue about Spaniel curls using the brown spaniel. I will come back to this one very soon!
