Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" around Los Angeles with my easel and headphones.

Thank you so much for these great tips. I am painting pet portraits and I tend to have a very tight style of painting and I'm working really hard to loosen up and let the paint/color/brush do the work instead of documenting every single strand.

What I really like is that I can understand what you say - and your painting is pretty good too.

Good tips 👍 I think the painter should keep in mind all these details and apply them in the work. The result will be a good quality painting. The common people can't appreciate these elements, they only see a harmonic image. However, they will always be present in a good portrait.

I personally love the fine details of hairs in paintings and trees and grass that’s how I would personally want a painting. I honestly feel there is no right way to paint depends on your style.

2 and 3 I agree with, both are great tips. But I think the first one would be more for the client. I'm getting into doing these and more than a few have supplied me with shots from above. But I will say if they supply several references, I usually go with something more eye level. Thanks for the tips!

OK Chris. This is the first time I have seen ANYTHING you have done. I just searched "painting a cat" to have something on in the back ground that might be helpful as I work on an acrylic generic painting of a cat, and I have an objection to the criticism of painting a pet too large for the canvas: Some animals, some pets are,or were larger than life. For instance, I had a cat that brought me a LIVE chicken on Mother's day. I had another cat who lowered her tail end over her face for her ablutions. Such animals can not be painted life sized, nor can they fit on a canvas. And another thing: IF an artist CAN paint every hair, every blade of grass, I for one am in AWE! Alrighty then! I shall return to my own painting anon.

This was really informative to watch! Learnt some useful tips for painting pets, something I’m new to. Do you think doing these portraits look better when the whole body of the pet is painted or just the face and neck/shoulders?
@paintcoach
@paintcoach 4 года назад
Arisha Fancy I tend to only do the neck and shoulders like a human portrait. When you get the whole body in there it makes it so you have to then paint the environment (ground and background) bc if you don’t then you just have a pet floating on the canvas. Backgrounds can be tough to nail and most of the time takes focus away from the subject of the portrait.

You're a good painter, there's no denying that, but what's up with hating on other people's art styles? Tacky? Really?

To be fair it looks terrible. It's a painting, not a 'copy of a photo'.

I agree about the photo being all important. Most prospective clients submit truly awful photos. Even though good artists can make successful changes to the photo, the portrait will only be as good as the quality of the reference.

Unfortunately many of my pet portraits are of deceased pets and I only have what they give me to capture their pet. Good advice otherwise

'Copy of a photograph' type of pet portraits are bland and pointless, so the painterly look is the way to go!
