Thank you so much =). I haven't actually. That would make for a lovely painting. I'll get one added to my list 😁

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that 😢. It's the worst part about sharing life with them 💔

Hi Christine, just water :)

My pleasure =). Erm... I used a few glazes I think. But it depends on the light source. Usually a mixture of a blue (ultramarine blue usually) black or possibly some dioxazine purple if the colour is a little warmer. Sometimes black fur reflects browns as well so it just depends. Something like this in the video more blues and purples in the mix.

@@zaratomsart thank you!

@@TravelswithLucky :) :)

Thank you =). 99% of my brushes are by Daler & Rowney. I love them. Last for years, some I've had for over 5 years and they're still perfect.

I think he asked about the 5 or so sizes as well ??

She doesn’t tell you all the specifics .. because its a matketing ploy for her patreon .. which tbh is fair play . Artists do need to make a living … But yeah - she goes into all the small fundamentals on her patreon.

Generally though round 1/2/4//6 are the best brushes & rowney line brush 1

I believe that was in reference to the slow version on Patreon. The link for that is www.patreon.com/zaratomsart :)

I'll add it to my list =)

Great question! For me, this now mainly falls down to what my Patreon members would like to see featured as I try to tailor the content there as much as I can. But when I was just doing pet portraits and a client asked my opinion on what medium would work best I always decided once I saw the photos. If the dog for instance had a really soft looking coat I would likely sway more towards pastels as the blending can be done so easily at each required layer. That's the only real time I'd be definitely deciding between one medium or the other. Other than that pastels and acrylics are very similar in how we work with them so I'd let the client decide if they have a strong preference =).

Yeah, all of this was in acrylics =)

Yes, on my Patreon =)

Are you a member of my Patreon on any of the acrylic tiers?

@@zaratomsart I think so? Let me look. I subscribe to about 5 artists.

I use many depending on the type of fur texture. But mainly I stick to my liner brushes size 1 and 2 usually.

@@zaratomsart thanks! My detail brushes aren't very good and lose their point quickly.

@@arikawithana3023 oh really? Have you tried the Graduate series by Daler & Rowney? They have never ended up damaged. Maybe worth a try =)

@@zaratomsart I'll give it a shot :)

The colours and brushes I've used are all on the Patreon tutorial. The colours are predominantly mars black, titanium white, ultramarine blue and dioxazine purple. This is my go to palette for black fur depending on how warm or cool the fur looks. Black fur is really reflective so it can pick up browner tints as well.
