TOP TIPS FOR PAINTING SHORT, WHITE FUR.

My latest full length tutorial in acrylics on Patreon was of a white Bulldog. I had a couple of requests for tutorials on short fur and then another on white fur so I thought I’d combine the two for this one. When I was looking for the reference photo for this tutorial I wanted a dog which was entirely white. No other colour so that I could focus on all parts regarding the white elements. As soon as I saw this Bulldog I knew it was the one.

I think white fur is often thought of as being one of the easier fur types to paint but most of the time it’s one of the more trickier colours to get right. Often, there isn’t enough layers added so the fur looks flat and the texture captured can end up looking for coarser than we would like.

In the 6.5 hour tutorial on Patreon I go into every stage in depth. No secrets or information left out. If I make a mistake its all included in my tutorials so that I can show you how to fix it should it happen in your own work. Mistakes can be a good thing – it’s how we learn and improve our skills as an artist.
