How I Paint A Watercolor Dog Nose | Jess Kristen

How I Paint A Watercolor Dog Nose by Jess Kristen
Good afternoon artifyians,
Here is a little video I just put together for how I paint a watercolor dog nose. I have been getting questions from some folks and wanted to throw this together real fast for you guys. I am not using the best paper for this example because I didn't want to use my super nice Arches paper for a quick example, but I will video my next dog and you can see the whole process on much better paper quality and see the difference in the results ultimately. As for technique however this is the process I use pretty much so I hope it helps!
I am just starting out my journey of organizing myself artistically in a way that I can share with everyone my process and I will be creating tutorial videos for you as well. My Patreon page is brand new and while I don't have much content up there at the moment, I will continue to add to it and reach out to my Patreon's to learn what types of videos and paintings I can do for you!

Thank you so much for sharing this detailed video. Great job and certainly helped me. Wanted that 3D affect and this has it and showed me how. I struggled with the nostrils but your tutorial made it truly so much easier for me. I also enjoyed your explanations and the steps. Great job and thank you again. I'm 72 years young and love to learn.

I’ve been struggling with nose forever! This is the best I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you have one for eyes! Merry Christmas!

[@jesskristenart5784]

Thank you so much! This was just a quick example and not ideal but happy it helps! I don’t have one for eyes at the moment but will plan on doing one here soon!

Actually I would love a tutorial on how to paint a greying muzzle on a dog. I’m trying to paint my dog but not sure how to do this part and blende it in with the rest of his face

[@jesskristenart5784]

@@janetalbot6529 Absolutely! I will see if I can get this created here soon and posted up for you! I will come back to this comment and let you know when its up!

[@janetalbot6529]

Thank you. That’s amazing!

[@jesskristenart5784]

@@janetalbot6529 In the meantime, check out this speed painting of a black lab mix with a greying nose... you can see how i use a combination of light black washes and white gouache to try to blend the two together. I will create a specific video for you still, but just saw this and thought this could give you some ideas for now! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g369Y6eAZr2HbZo

What is a "neutral tint" that you refer to for the darks on the second step on the nostrils? Since you used Indigo for the base would that be somewhere in an orange? I know the colors across the color wheel from a certain color can neutralize that first color, but I am lost right now and can't think straigt! lol

[@jesskristenart5784]

It’s a shade of black that I use from Daniel Smith paints called Neutral Tint. danielsmith.com/neutral-tint-15ml-tube-daniel-smith-extra-fine-watercolor/

[@jesskristenart5784]

Indigo is more a dark blue shade of black in the Daniel Smith line, more like a navy. Often times blacks will reflect a blue undertone and so I like to start with a blue base and add more real blacks to it like Neutral Tint. This way the blues end up in the highlights of the darks. I hope that helps!
