In this speed painting video demonstration, I show you my oil painting technique for painting black fur. I painted this on Richeson panel and show which brushes I prefer to use to paint fur and hair. Be sure to check out the full tutorial folder for longer, detailed painting lessons! I also inserted links below to the Dynasty brush and paints I used for the fur.

I appreciate that you spent time discussing exactly what you were doing, how were you thinking, the brush size you were using etc. It’s EXTREMELY helpful vs others who simply paint in front of you and call it a “tutorial.” Thank you for sharing the entire mental and physical process. MUCH appreciated!

Thank you for the tutorial. I've been a fine photo-realistic painter for years but I've been intimidated about doing an animal. I've been wanting to paint a portrait of my favorite cat that passed a long time ago. She was charcoal and I never could get it started properly. I'm going to try it now. Thanks again, excellent!

Carole, I LOVED this cat painting. I'm hoping to paint our much loved black Labrador soon and the colors you used will be so helpful! Any tips on capturing her beautiful brown eyes?

@CaroleRodrigue 5 лет назад

Susan Lindblad glad you liked this! Good luck with painting your dog. I have a fair sized playlist of full step by step videos. This one here might help you. Remember to paint what you see. Start with dark and build lighter layers. Only practice will make perfect! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NorSgGGqQAY.html

Thank you so much for sharing your paint mixes and brush choices. I'm painting commissioned pet portraits but I'm still learning. My go to size is an 8 x 10 but I think this is too small to get the eye detail. What is your preferred size? Also, on your reference photo - do you use a Ipad or other device or do you print out the photo? Thank you!

@CaroleRodrigue 4 года назад

I’ve done a lot of 8 x 10’s, but 11 x 14 is my favourite size. It’s just right to get all the details in and not so big that it takes forever. I work looking at my computer screen. I have a large iMac, and this way I can enlarge when I need to see better. I have terrible vision so a print out doesn’t cut it for me to see details. Thanks for the questions!

@richardsharp9605 3 года назад

Lovely painting, just taken this up as a hobby and want to paint our mainly black and little white cat that passed a few months ago. How long to you leave oils to dry before next layer as I thought they take a very long time to dry ? Thanks :)

@CaroleRodrigue 3 года назад

Thanks Richard. I use Liquin which speeds up drying time. I usually let dry to the touch and then I can continue layering. With Liquin that can take anywhere from 5 hours to overnight.

@richardsharp9605 3 года назад

@@CaroleRodrigue many thanks, will give this a go 😳

@VintageJoBeth 2 года назад

Lovely video! Can I ask, do we need to worry about fat over lean if using liquin/liquin fine detail in all the painting layers?

@CaroleRodrigue 2 года назад

Fat over lean should never be ignored. You don’t want the top layer drying faster than the one underneath, otherwise the paint will crack. You can always add linseed oil.

@Bigred443 8 месяцев назад

How did you transfer the picture on to the canvas?

@Dizzy7878 3 года назад

How do you paint the whiskers and what kind/size of brush? Thanks

@CaroleRodrigue 3 года назад

Use a fine liner like a 1 or 0

@deborahanderson1287 2 года назад

Do you have problems of wet paint on dry oil paint beading up? I have to oil out between layers or beading happens and even when I do this sometimes I have trouble with the blending into the bottom layer. If I use linen canvas this isn't as bad a problem but cotton canvas it happens all the time. I have really been doing wet on wet oil painting cause this beading is such a problem. My last paintings have been maybe 2 layers cause I get so sick of this problem. Any advise would be so appreciated because I used acrylic paint for years so I am very used to layering cause acrylic is just layer after layer to achieve realistic paintings.

@CaroleRodrigue 2 года назад

Sounds like your initial layers are too fatty or have too much oil. This can create surface tension, or oily shiny parts where paint will bead, or so I’ve read. I’ve personally never had this happen in nearly 40 years so I can just assume this is what the problem is. Thin the initial layers either with Liquin, turpentine, or mineral spirits. You need to remember the fat over lean rule. Keep the first layers thin, then build up with thicker fattier paints. I also use linseed oil for my fatty layers. I no longer work with Liquin as I did at the time of this video, but I use oil mediums instead but just the last layers. If you still keep having this issue , oiling out is the right thing to do. I read a bit of alcohol can help too.
