How To Choose The Perfect Colors For Any Pet Portrait!

[@Blick_Art]

You mean you can't just use white, black and brown? (LOL) This looks like a good system for other types of painting too! Of course, the results speak for themselves- those are wonderful portraits!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Hah hah! You could do whatever you want I suppose! 😆 And thank you!!

[@Saahrish]

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

You are most welcome!

Emily, thank you for your free guides and all those helpful 5 tips videos you do. Thank you for keeping it simple, i am absolutely one of those that gets so overwhelmed by too many options. I love draeing but watercolor has always been an interest that I have felt have failed at miserably in the past. Thank you for giving me the hope and feeling that with the teacher i can achieve to learn what I want to know

Hi Emily- I have been unable to download the free pet colors ebook guide. Might be something wrong at your end? Thanks for all your wonderful instruction!

[@carpinchosviajeros2699]

Hello Emily! I'm a big fan and I watch all your videos. They help me so much with my pet portraits! I have to paint a portrait of a brown dapple dachshund. Quite difficult for me! Could you consider painting it for us? I think it would be very interesting!

Hah! That works, too!

[@markup6394]

Heh, this video is a godsend: I just wanted to paint our dog with acrylics, and even though the basics are done (darkest darks, highlights and basic shapes), I'm kinda at a loss as to how to go on from there. Hopefully, this'll give me an idea :)

Ty for your useful tips! PS: you could take a bath with all those paint tubes :D

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

You're right--WAY too many supplies, lol!

[@cindyp.9030]

One of the reasons I have never tried to do animal portraits is because I can't even figure out where to start, I feel completely overwhelmed at even the thought of attempting one. I am hoping this will help me overcome those fears and doubts. Thank you.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

You can DO it! 🙌

[@artericson]

Great showcase of how to's here Emily. I am always striving for color unity in my paintings, appreciate it!

Of course!

[@Doootjeee]

"there is just no substitute to practice" always a good reminder ❤️

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Indeed!

[@elizabethbaumler4098]

Emily, wow thanks so much.making this chart is going to be the hardest part. Not quite understanding how to accomplish the mixing. I understand putting the 6 colors at the top (50/50) parts water/part paint abd down the side 80/20. So do I have two areas for each mixture of paint and then mix the intersecting grid. Or do I continue to lighten the paints with each grid. Totally lost. Is it possible to do the chart for us slowly. I'm a member so would be thrilled if you would do at least two or three lines to get us going.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Hey Elizabeth! Be sure to watch the Pet Colors video tutorial included in the membership! There is a whole lesson all about the color mixing chart. :)

[@elizabethbaumler4098]

@@EmilyOlsonArt I was going to look but my password was locked up and never went online. I'll do it tonight. My friend is painting her dog as she is a member also. She's ahead of me. But I will watch the videos tonight Thanks Emily!!
