Thank you John! Definitely a favorite of mine for 2021

I totally know what you mean. It took me quite some time to start painting fur and hair in chunks as apposed to individual hairs. it defiantly speeds up the process lol!

Thank you very much! I do an acrylic underpainting in raw umber for my pet portraits. I like to apply it wet and wipe away the excess to get the look you see in this video. I like to charcoal sketch over this layer but its totally up to you! wheat ever your more comfortable with.

Thank you Jane 🙏

At the time of making this video I didn't realize how vague I was about what changed in my practice, so here's a little summary. At the time of this painting I was working on 3 goals: efficiency, accuracy, and bold, confident brush work. I had been working towards this for a year and it wasn't until this painting that it finally all clicked. This was the point in my painting career where it all changed.

@@LukeDurdinyour title insinuates that you changed this one thing and it all fell into place, not all three of these clicked somehow and that helped move me forward.

Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it helped!

Glad it was helpful! It was a game changer for me when it comes to my technique and now that I have done it for a year I will never look back! I didn't believe i showed it in this video which is something I can fix for the next one. thanks for the tip!

I would love to see your animal paintings before you discovered this technique. I will look online if I can find any that you have posted. I guess you can't insert a picture here. Happy Painting!

Thanks for watching! It's so satisfying once you incorporate them into your practice, and much faster to!

Thank you!

Rosemary and Co. Ivory long flats! Lots of spring and a fantastic brush

I paint using a method called "Allaprima" meaning I paint wet paint into wet paint. This is not achievable with acrylics (without some sort of medium) as they dry to fast.

I think you kinda answered it within your own comment. it just depends on the artist and where they are in their career. For some context: When I was doing this painting I was starting to build a career as free lance artist and had a lot of commissions on my plate. at the time, spending 20 hours on a commission, in conjunction with my prices was not a good business strategy. I felt that I could be me efficient with my process to shorten the amounts of time required to complete these commissions. this involved streamlining a process, being more bold and loose with my brushwork, and more back end stuff when it comes to scheduling and client communications. What came of this new approach was a new technique that i still use to this day, bold blocky loose brush work.

@@LukeDurdin - Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense now.

Thank you for the feedback.

I appreciate the feedback 🙏

Tracing will always be a subject for debate. If this was a personal piece, absolutely! However, this was a commissioned piece. Instead of spending 4-5 hours drawing, checking, and re drawing, I can trace the image in 15 minutes. If the outcome is ultimately the same, there is no point in spending the extra time drawing by hand.

I enjoyed the audio, it’s really great to hear other artists actually describe their struggles. I could totally relate re confident brushwork. Beautiful work

It's the narration that really touched my heart here. As a fellow artist, I am struggling along this same path. My work is nowhere near as masterful, but you know, goals!

I don’t agree. It’s a nice monologue.

Well he could have done it standing on 1 leg and it wouldn't have made 0 difference I for 1 appreciate the audio and the encouragement from him, The only words I could have done without were yours

Thank you!

Big fan of James Gurney
