New video!

I am taking this time (was meant to be on holiday all of this week) to focus on a painting of my own. This will be of my red Staffie and my Sprocker. I took the photo during a holiday to Scotland and the lighting is beautiful. Strong warm lighting from behind them both which has over exposed parts but that is what I like. Normally that isnt ideal for using as a reference for a pet portrait but in this case its what made me choose this photo.

I have lots of other artists follow me on social media. They often ask me to make slower and real time videos. I would love to make more of these but they really take a lot of time to make and edit which I dont have time usually to do.

With what is going on I have had some time to make this much longer 15 minute video. Normally my videos are sped up considerably more and at the most are only 2 minutes long. This video above is sped up but is far slower and I hope shows how I layer, break areas down into small sections and blend the paint which for acrylics can be a challenge.

I am wanting to make more of these videos and one with captions that explain what I am doing. I would love to do ones with a voice over but I’m not brave enough to do that yet :).

I would love to hear what you think of this video either over at my YouTube in the comments of this video or over at my facebook page 🙂
