I had a couple of requests for tutorials on short fur and then another on white fur so I thought I&#8217;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.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4270 \" src=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snapshot-28-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snapshot-28-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snapshot-28-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snapshot-28-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snapshot-28.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think white fur is often thought of as being one of the easier fur types to paint but most of the time it&#8217;s one of the more trickier colours to get right. Often, there isn&#8217;t enough layers added so the fur looks flat and the texture captured can end up looking for coarser than we would like.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8211; it&#8217;s how we learn and improve our skills as an artist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"ap_call_to_action clearfix center\"><div class=\"ap_call_to_action_content\">If you&#8217;d like to paint along to the 6.5 hour Patreon tutorial or any of my other slower in depth tutorials in pastels or acrylics click the button below \ud83d\ude42<\/div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/zaratomsart\" class=\"ap_call_to_action_button\">My Patreon<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aqNHAUMHL-M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4269\" src=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BULLDOG-ARYLIC-TIER-WM-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BULLDOG-ARYLIC-TIER-WM-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BULLDOG-ARYLIC-TIER-WM-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BULLDOG-ARYLIC-TIER-WM-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BULLDOG-ARYLIC-TIER-WM-135x100.jpg 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>I also have a shorter tutorial on YouTube with voice over.
