How to Paint a Holiday Pet Portrait - The Black Lab with Suzanne Barrett Justis

How to paint a Holiday pet portrait -the black lab with Suzanne Barrett Jutsis
‘Tis the season, as they say and for me as a professional artist, this is my busy time painting lots of pet portraits. In this video, I will be painting the portrait of a sweet black Labrador named Marlow for the Geasa family in TX.
As you watch this time lapsed painting demonstration, I will take you from start to finish on this black lab’s portrait. First, I will do a thin wash of paint consisting mainly of paint thinner and then do a wipe out, creating the form of the dog on the substrate. Once I am satisfied with the wipe out, I will then do a value study using only dioxazine Purple. I will then begin to load layers of paint till I eventually arrive at the fine detail work.
Most of the brushes I am using are Rosemary and Co Brushes. Here it the link to the their website www.rosemaryan...?u=5711a7
as well as links to the actual brushes I was using
The Domed Eclipse Filbert I was using can be found on this link....it's a wonderful little brush, great for both application and blending.

the pure red sable in the 81 series was used for blending . I wanted to give you the link to this brush in case you are interested in getting one for yourself

I also used several of the Eclipse long Filberts of various sizes, you can find them here

and Ivory long filberts, my " work horse brush" I love them.

I used to have a dog that was a black lab, and this really represents a real dog portrait so I think this can help me with a reference of how to draw my dog

[@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist]

Suzanne Barrett Justis - Artist I heard only good things about them, I always thought the company was from the United States and the import costs are so high.. so when I found out they are in Europe I immediately ordered ☺️

[@SuzanneBarrettJustisArtist]

@@astridtermaat3854 you won’t be sorry! Have you actually used them yet?

[@astridtermaat3854]

Suzanne Barrett Justis - Artist yes, on a small painting and they are a dream 😍
