The way you lay the fur texture in first building the structure with the direction of the fur is eye opening. I usually lay tones down first then add texture at the end and it never looked as realistic as your did. Thank you for the lesson.
Hi Rebecca, I have a friend who is a wonderful wc painter and sells her work in a gallery in her town which is a summer tourist destination. She paints on YES wc canvas and it works great because the paintings can be easily carried home by the tourists without the hindrance of a frame. YES only comes in certain sizes so I got some watercolor ground (it's like gesso but makes most surfaces accept wc). I have used it on all sizes of gallery wrapped canvas. Just another option. Thanks for your reply and your tutorial.
Hi Joan, thanks for this - lots of fun information to research! I'm interested in trying the YES canvas, and appreciate your suggestion of using watercolor ground on gallery wrapped canvas - this is worth a try! There is so much to learn!
It seems like you are able to get going on the fur very quickly with the hot press. Most pet portraits on cold press use more washes to achieve depth. Great work
Beautiful as always. I have worked in lots of other mediums so far now after watching your videos I have started with watercolour and loving it. Thank you Rebecca for your tutorials and inspiration.
Just found your channel Rebecca, thank you for the portrait of my beautiful girl Maggie. I'm new to water colour so this is a bit beyond my capabilities right now, but I'll keep at it until I can paint her as close as possible to your portrait. Thank you for the inspiration. Subscribed :)
Incredible painting! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your process. Thank you very much! It has helped me realize that even though my pet portrait may look nearly done I need to push it along further with the darker and medium values. I will remember your name and will check out your website (and online school).
Glad to hear this Lucy - thanks! Best wishes in your watercolor adventures! If you'd like to learn more, here's a free tutorial: rebeccarhodes.teachable.com/p/how-to-paint-a-dog-eye-watercolor
i want to paint a picture for my mom's boyfriend of his dog that passed away. she was a german shepherd mix but i love golden retrievers so when i saw this i had to watch. even though it wasn't the same dog i picked up a lot of tips watching your video. your final product was beautiful.
Wonderful Golden; I like very much your painting because it's difficult to stay it's aquarel and thie why I like this; It's so real, colors, details, etc. WOW WOW WOW. GREAT ART; wonderful
Wow Rebecca. This is incredible. Must have taken days to complete! May I ask how you would tackle this if it was a chocolate lab! I’m assuming the first layers would be the same but then switch to darker browns at the end? Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
Hi Rebecca...this is just beautiful and beautifully done! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. We recently had to say goodbye to our sweet Kenzie Dawg, a border collie of almost 14yrs. We miss him so. I would love to attempt a portrait of him but I have been hesitant to get started on it mainly because of the difficulty of painting the hair. I am now anxious to get to it. I am curious as to how long this portrait took to complete with layers and layers of tiny strokes upon strokes :) Thank you again!!
Hi Suzanne, thanks so much for your message, and I'm sorry about losing your collie. This portrait took approximately 8 hours to complete, and I'm glad if it will help you in your painting - I would love to see your progress! When I was growing up I had a border collie named "Dolly." I have not painted one yet - maybe that will come soon. Best wishes to you!
these are just stunning beautiful. would you ever post real time videos that explain your process and tips of using watercolor this way? I'm skilled in colored pencil and pastels, but watercolor, not so much. thanks. My channel Avatar pic is one I did in pastels years ago. she's one of my favorites.
Hi Jody, I appreciate your message, and I love your Avatar! To answer your question, yes, I've created an online school that offers tutorials in real time for a subscription of $20. a month. I'm editing this retriever video now to offer as a tutorial in real time in the school, and hope to have it ready to go in June.

Hi, I have only used the Krylon but I have the Dorland's too but haven't used it yet. My friend, Carole Hillsbery (the one who sells so many wc on canvas swears by Dorlands. I went to a demo at my local art store (Arizona Art Supply) about a year or so ago and they used Dorland's too. At the moment I am starting a Lab painting in oil. I haven't done much in oil and since this is not a commission, I figured it was a good one to start with. My problem is that I want to do it all. I love wc, pastel, mixed water media and I have a LOT of supplies that I would have to live to be 150 years old to use up. It keeps me busy and I have made so many friends in my art community and I sell some too which is wonderful. I love your Beagle tutorial too. Best, Joan
Joan, I hear you . There aren't enough hours in the day to do everything; I tend to dream about painting at night and can't wait to get up and get working in the morning! Dorland's is good - a bit messy - I think it depends on what you want the final product to look like. Thanks for your messages and best wishes to you!
Absolutely amazing! I love drawing dogs but I can never get the fur texture just right. This was a lovely and helpful example of that! It's also a little tough drawing on that type of canvas, and u did wonderful! Keep at it!
Fantastic! Someday hope do paint my goldie nearly that well. Color information is invaluable. Only wish you added information about what brushes you are using at different stages of the painting. What range of brushes were you using?
His work is beautiful , thank you for sharing your knowledge !! This way of painting enchants me , I wait for more videos like this . Another subscribed. thanks
You are awesome at painting, and I wish I could have your skill at painting faces of dogs, and other things. I have a small TH-cam channel. I just started it a little while ago. But anyways... you’re great at watercolors.
I am truly in love with all of your videos and have learned a lot. Out of curiosity, what are your suggestions to painting a portrait of a dog with long, curly hair? How do you maintain depth, dimension, and highlights/shadows?
Hi Logan, I'm glad these videos are helping you! I'm trying to think of dogs that have long, curly hair. One approach would be to start by putting in the hair with light, watery hues and then building depth by adding darker layers. Do you have a specific breed in mind?
Hey Logan, I just looked up Black Russian Terriers - they sure do have curly hair! I'm looking for a good public domain photo so I can give it a try too.
Yes, it sure is challenging. I realized that you have to get the contour/direction - before I figured it out, all of my fur looked unrealistic and awkward.
Can you also show the outline in one video? Btw it's perfect! Just amazing! It is so difficult but you made it seem like it's so easy I'll also try it out. I'm sure it won't be as good as this one but I'll try my best. Thank you for the help, I was searching for a tutorial like this for quite long.😊
Hello, you can find the outline drawing in our online school: rebeccarhodes.teachable.com/p/how-to-paint-realistic-pet-portrait-labrador-retriever-watercolor
Lovely lovely work! Really beautiful! Very helpful tutorial! Could I ask about the type of ground you're using? It looks like an oil canvas stretched on a wooden frame yet feels like watercolor ground! What is it?
+Rebecca Rhodes thank u for the reply .. could u make a video on how you film while you're working? Is it a camera tripod? How do you make it perpendicular on the drawing?
I film with my phone. I created a tripod out of an old lamp with a bendable neck. Rubber band the phone to the top of the lamp and adjust the neck so the camera is parallel to the desk. Does that make sense?
Hi Again, I forgot to ask . . . what do you use to protect the painting when it is done? Dorland's wax seems to be the medium of choice among those I know who do this. The video was great and makes it seem possible to actually stretch the paper but also does not address protecting the finished painting. Thanks. Joan
Hi Joan, I presently use Krylon UV Resistant Clear Acrylic coating spray - at least 3 coats. I've been doing lots of research on this and it seems that the Krylon spray is popular to seal the watercolor paint so it doesn't run, and that is followed by Dorland's wax or Golden Polymer varnish. I have experimented with both the wax and the varnish. I'm not sure which I like best. What do you use?
Walt, this is a Billy Showell fine tipped sable brush. She now has synthetic brushes that last longer, with that same pointed tip. www.billyshowell.com/brushes-collection
Rebecca, thank you for this tutorial. Your work is beautiful and your lesson was wonderful. I do have a question about the Arches Gallery Stretched paper. I have never seen such a thing. Is this something you do yourself? And why it is preferable to painting with the paper flat. Do you varnish and hang without glass? Thanks so much.
Hi Joan, thanks for your message! Yes, I create the gallery stretched frame myself using Arches 140 lb. cold press paper and Fredrix stretcher strips. I learned how to do it using Doris Joa's video here: th-cam.com/video/3DW-6XQevQ8/w-d-xo.html I also create paintings on flat paper and frame them under glass, but I was looking for different methods for two reasons. One, to offer something different at shows in addition to framed paintings, and two, because frames tend to be a bit pricey and this method is much less expensive and fun to do!
Hi Rebecca! I'd heard a lot about your channel in FB groups as the one with great tips on painting animals. I finally searched it up and watched 2-3 of your videos. I really want to develop a skill in painting realistic animals. Please if you get chance, can you also post a horse painting with a lot of part of its velvety skin showing, that lively black eye which seems to be talking to us and the bone/nerve close to the mouth. I have seen such in pencil colors, really want to paint it in watercolors.
The way you lay the fur texture in first building the structure with the direction of the fur is eye opening. I usually lay tones down first then add texture at the end and it never looked as realistic as your did. Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for your message Bee!
I love how you type in how you mixed the colors and why you're doing that technique, thank you for this tutorial! 😊❤️
Shyla, you are very welcome! It's a pleasure!
An actual tutorial! Most are just filming themselves painting. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks, and you are very welcome!
In my opinion, your dog portrait tutorial is the BEST......and I've look at tons. Thank you.
Thanks so much Judy!
I learned more about art in this one video than I have in all the other things I’ve watched/read combined
I'm so glad to hear this - thank you Sarah!
This is by far one of the best hyper-realistic paintings on TH-cam. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious🤩
I appreciate that! Thank you!
one of the best tutorial I’ve seen, this is so good. I can’t wait to try it out
Thank you Mia!
The paint seems so realistic that I feel the urge to pet the dog 🥺. Great work, you're an inspiration
Thank so much!
Thank you! As a beginner in watercolor, this is very helpful. I now know how many steps and layers it takes to make such a realistic painting.
I'm glad to hear this Suzanne, thanks for your message!
This is absolutely gorgeous and so beautiful
Thank you so much!
Sooo good Rebecca, you are an amazing artist.....

It seems like you are able to get going on the fur very quickly with the hot press.
Most pet portraits on cold press use more washes to achieve depth.
Great work

great tutorial and thank you so much!
Thank you Gail!
Can you describe the " flick " you do with brush to get fur strokes? Up down, both? Thanks!! Beautiful work!!
Lori, I usually go up with a quick move of the brush, starting at the base where it's thicker and moving away and thinning.
You are awesome at painting, and I wish I could have your skill at painting faces of dogs, and other things. I have a small TH-cam channel. I just started it a little while ago. But anyways... you’re great at watercolors.
Thank you Charlie! Keep at it and the channel will grow.

Thank you Daniel, this is a Billy Showell pointed round brush.
This was soooooooo beautiful..... Loved your work 😍😍

I am truly in love with all of your videos and have learned a lot. Out of curiosity, what are your suggestions to painting a portrait of a dog with long, curly hair? How do you maintain depth, dimension, and highlights/shadows?
Hi Logan, I'm glad these videos are helping you! I'm trying to think of dogs that have long, curly hair. One approach would be to start by putting in the hair with light, watery hues and then building depth by adding darker layers. Do you have a specific breed in mind?
I am slowly painting a Black Russian Terrier (they are pretty much just dark fur, with a hint of eye)
Hey Logan, I just looked up Black Russian Terriers - they sure do have curly hair! I'm looking for a good public domain photo so I can give it a try too.
If you would like, I can send you a few photos of my black russian terrier.
That would be great! rebrho@gmail.com
Thanks so much!
It can be really difficult to get the hairy effect sometimes!
Well, i havent tried so many times
Yes, it sure is challenging. I realized that you have to get the contour/direction - before I figured it out, all of my fur looked unrealistic and awkward.
+Rebecca Rhodes i hope i would get it !thanks and blessings to you
Keep at it!
thanks

Lovely lovely work! Really beautiful! Very helpful tutorial! Could I ask about the type of ground you're using? It looks like an oil canvas stretched on a wooden frame yet feels like watercolor ground! What is it?
Thanks, and you are correct! This is Arches Hot Press watercolor paper soaked in water and stapled around Fredrix stretcher strips.
+Rebecca Rhodes thank u for the reply .. could u make a video on how you film while you're working? Is it a camera tripod? How do you make it perpendicular on the drawing?
I film with my phone. I created a tripod out of an old lamp with a bendable neck. Rubber band the phone to the top of the lamp and adjust the neck so the camera is parallel to the desk. Does that make sense?
magnifique travail bravo
Thank you Celinette!
What brush did you use for the fur? Working on a dog piece right now so this video is really a great help!
Taleda, this is a Billy Showell fine tipped #2 brush. I'm glad this helps!
Hi Again, I forgot to ask . . . what do you use to protect the painting when it is done? Dorland's wax seems to be the medium of choice among those I know who do this. The video was great and makes it seem possible to actually stretch the paper but also does not address protecting the finished painting. Thanks. Joan
Hi Joan,
I presently use Krylon UV Resistant Clear Acrylic coating spray - at least 3 coats. I've been doing lots of research on this and it seems that the Krylon spray is popular to seal the watercolor paint so it doesn't run, and that is followed by Dorland's wax or Golden Polymer varnish. I have experimented with both the wax and the varnish. I'm not sure which I like best. What do you use?
Of all the brushes I have none have a point like the one in this tutorial. What make and model brush is this one?
Walt, this is a Billy Showell fine tipped sable brush. She now has synthetic brushes that last longer, with that same pointed tip. www.billyshowell.com/brushes-collection
This was mesmerizing... I love this. You are so talented!! How long does it generally take you to finish one of these realistic paintings?
Thanks Ashley! This takes 6 to 8 hours, including drying time.
Rebecca, thank you for this tutorial. Your work is beautiful and your lesson was wonderful. I do have a question about the Arches Gallery Stretched paper. I have never seen such a thing. Is this something you do yourself? And why it is preferable to painting with the paper flat. Do you varnish and hang without glass? Thanks so much.
Hi Joan, thanks for your message!
Yes, I create the gallery stretched frame myself using Arches 140 lb. cold press paper and Fredrix stretcher strips. I learned how to do it using Doris Joa's video here: th-cam.com/video/3DW-6XQevQ8/w-d-xo.html
I also create paintings on flat paper and frame them under glass, but I was looking for different methods for two reasons. One, to offer something different at shows in addition to framed paintings, and two, because frames tend to be a bit pricey and this method is much less expensive and fun to do!
Oh. MY. GOD!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
