You are one of the rare youtube artist who actually paint literal masterpieces every time they get a brush into their hands! Like, the colors, the shapes, the proportions, never overloaded and always on point😭😭thank u for teaching us, simple mortals🙏
Well just remember, for every masterpiece he shows, there’s probably a heap of failed paintings he’ll eventually paint over. So if you’re painting, yourself, don’t be discouraged if every painting isn’t a masterpiece.
I think that the white part of the snout was painted longer than the reference in your painting. Its interesting that both paintings feel different while they are following the same reference. I really like the blocky saturated edges in the students work, I think it looks very stylised on purpose like in Jean Mannhiems vibrant still lifes or Sarah Sadwicks paintings. It has lots of energy to it. And yours is also unique like an opposite take that focuses on softness; with the edges and lower contrast making the colours more pastel and calming.
hi Chris. thank you. your presentation... explanation really helped at so many levels.... as I get ready to paint my Australian shepherd. so looking forward to seeing and hearing more from your videos. thanks !!!
Chris, I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed your videos. This one is fantastic and so helpful. I became a Patreon member after watching so many of your videos on TH-cam. I’ve been painting for a little over a year now and I can definitely see the growth. THANK YOU for being such a big part of that1❤
I've watched this before but i gotta say these are fantastic tips. I really get so much out of your content. I love how you get detail without actually going too much into detail. If that makes sense. Im trying to tone back my details because sometimes my underpainting looked better lol
The scraping trick for whiskers is super helpful, hadnt heard that before, I always just tried using a small brush and theyd always come out way too thick
That's a really good tutorial. Really good . In fact I just took my photo of the dog Im painting and copied it in black and white so I could see the different shades of the dog. Thanks.
Yeah I prefer the amount of contrast the student painting has, I do agree with him that it should have been cropped more towards the dog but ultimately I prefer the style of it over the teacher’s. It could also be just because I feel like working with oils make it easy to “muddy” the painting so the vibrancy is just especially pleasing.
Question, I’m an intermediate level acrylic painter and friend asked me to paint his deceased dog. My challenge is the dog had a brindle coat with shades of light brown, raw umber, burnt sienna and scattering of a peachy ochre. I’m stumped how to blend to get the brindle look … suggestions PLEASE!!
You are such a fantastic teacher. I just bought my first set of oils and thought I'd try it out. I definitely should have done some research beforehand 😂 .... but I'm finding all you techniques super helpful. Thank you!! How do you get in a class or become a student? I'd love to get help with my art
All living things are the same. Shapes, value, edges. Something he doesn't talk about is the ambiance and color arrangement. If you use alot of red and black it could come off as sad. But if you use a yellow or orange background it seems a little happier.
tip no1 should be: dont take a dog comissions LOL, have some respect for yourself. unless you love painting dogs then do it but cmon, dog comission? wtf edit: spelling
Dogs are considered part of a family. Some have left millions to their dogs. There is no shame in doing dog commissions or any animal someone has a connection to.

Beautifully done as usual. This is one of your best in my opinion. You make me want to paint!
i love painting dogs, you have the chance to work out some nice textures. Nice painting Chris, love the light/shadow effect.
❤ Thank you for this video. I was feeling stuck in a painting and you gave me confidence to keep going!! Great tips!!!
That's awesome, I'm glad you found it helpful!
I’m an acrylic artist and love your tips and information! Beautiful paintings
The scraping trick for whiskers is super helpful, hadnt heard that before, I always just tried using a small brush and theyd always come out way too thick
Excellent tips and excellent painting!

Masterfully painted Chris! Love your dog portraits!
This is such a great video thank you
I love this. Your paintings have such dynamic temperature and your vids helped me learn a lot. How about birds?
Gorgeous work as ALWAYS!
Thanks for all the tips, very concise and well explained. I really enjoy your videos. Take Care
Glad you like them!
I like the student painting more, it’s more vibrant and alive

It could also be just because I feel like working with oils make it easy to “muddy” the painting so the vibrancy is just especially pleasing.
likewise
Thanks for the good tips, Chris.

Can you pls make a video about the difference of different brush hair (nylon/hog/taklon/etc)
Very useful! Thank you!
can you talk about how to paint stripe cats or animals? I find it very hard at the blocking stage due to the complexity of the local color.
Do you take on remote students by any chance? Thinking of turning dog portraits into commissioned work.
Would doing a very light pencil sketch of the dog and making the values that way work and be painted over easy?
Yes that could work as well. You can actually do that and then use a brush with paint thinner over it
Very interesting 🥰
Soo informative !!❤️ thx a lot
I can’t believe I watched all of this
Great video and class! And cats? Do you have videos about them?
It's the same, maybe emphasize on what he said about soft edges and "seamless transition" as cats have thinner hair.
All living things are the same. Shapes, value, edges. Something he doesn't talk about is the ambiance and color arrangement. If you use alot of red and black it could come off as sad. But if you use a yellow or orange background it seems a little happier.
very nice
Thanks
Do you have a Patreon pets tier? Or tutorials?
@@gwenritch yes I have a good amount of pet tutorials on Patreon
tony the pug 😍
Please where do you get your reference photos
I take most of them myself but this one was submitted by a patron
Great💪🏼
Marry me
Lol

Jennifer Gennari would disagree
You could say this about anything. There's nothing degrading about drawing dogs, at least in this context.
What do you have against painting dogs? Bizzarre take.
Dogs are considered part of a family. Some have left millions to their dogs. There is no shame in doing dog commissions or any animal someone has a connection to.
This is such a weird comment
