Here’s a new real time instructional video in which we’ll walk through the steps to painting a Bernese Mountain dog. Follow along as I make crucial initial decisions on where to place the dog’s head on my panel, sketch in the features and use a limited palette to mix and place the colors using expressive brushstrokes. No speedpainting here; I complete the painting in under two hours and you get to see every color mix and paintbrush stroke.
I hope you’ll enjoy this video if you’re interested in painting pet portraits in oil. Stay tuned as I have plans for more videos on a wide range of favorite techniques using oil, watercolor, gouache, graphite, colored pencil and mixed media!
Below is the reference photo for the painting.
