[@user-tq7pb2wk7q]

What about animal with white like southern Africa honeybadger. I am busy painting one on river rock.

[@Jessenialov7]

Your tutorials on painting fur has been the only ones to actually help me understand color and layering.

[@lindamannix7686]

Painting my first leopard and loving the process. Finding it very therapeutic. Your tips are so valuable. I have used your image transfer process which saved me weeks of sketching the image. Your fur guidance is great also. Enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.

[@dbleitch]

This is so helpful! I love this demo and how your build up of layers followed by how to detail the hairs has resulted in this truly realistic fur. Also loved the tip on adding water to help with the fine line work and to not use pure white in the fur. Great learnings for me and where I am at in my learning journey. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@StudioWildlife]

Thank you for watching! Glad you are finding the videos helpful in your art journey!

[@alexdl1978]

I paint in digital these days, I have not used acrylic in years; this tutorial is super helpful, I've been struggling to render fur in a style I like, but I love what you have done here and I shall adapt it and see how it turns out. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@swade5113]

Thank you for this helpful video. I have had a career in detailed etching and jewelry but and am now retired. I have only tried painting recently. I am a wildlife photographer so my painting interest is primarily in wildlife. I have only done two small paintings and it seemed to go well. I’ll be following you.

[@JC-yc7of]

So glad I found your channel. After a 55 year sabbatical, I decided to go back to art in an acrylic medium, and honestly, your tutorial on this topic is excellent.

[@annamcknight2573]

Brilliant teaching. You could shift your lighting as the shadow of your hand blurs the clarity as you work.

[@AlphagirlMae]

OMG! Just fabulous. I now will go back and re-detail my other paintings of my dog. I realize now I needed a better detailed brush to get the fur more realistic. Thanks you.

[@JoRobfolk]

I'm so grateful for this video. My sister-in-law's black/gray dog died, and I searched for how to paint his fur. This is perfect! Thank you!

[@avernion]

Thank you! My friend wanted me to make a painting of her dogs to her husband for Christmas, and I’ve been STRUGGLING. It all makes sense now. I could cry 😭

[@juanitahaasbroek8838]

best fur tutorial yet

[@junesayer8895]

Thank you so much for the advice

[@marcyobrien9409]

I am disappointed that most of the artists do not mention what colors they are using....as a beginner, I have no idea what colors to use when painting fur, etc....Studio Wildlife does tell what brushes he is using, but that's it! Would like to find an artist other than Ross who gives color palette, then, I will subscribe!

[@robincharles7057]

He says at the start he's using a glossy black and titanium white, though he's demonstrating the technique so you can use whatever colors you want. 🤗 There are plenty of artists I watch that mention the colors and brands they are using, but tbh it's not important to use the exact brands and colors when just practicing techniques imo.

You can also look at Ian Harris Acrylic Guru .. he always gives you the colors

[@pattymiller2993]

Just happened upon your video. You make this look so easy! We are making Dog planters and it would be helpful for me to learn to paint fur to highlight certain fur on the face. Like if they have gray or other colors in small areas. I would be painting on wood. Just starting to give it a try. Your video is very helpful!

[@baljeetdham]

Thank you so much for the nice tutorial. I learned which brush I need and how to make different colors of layers. I like you mention thin the paint to make the fine hair. Thank so much.

[@StudioWildlife]

Glad it was helpful!
