How to paint a realistic Red Squirrel | Acrylic painting tips

When painting a Red Squirrel it's important to paint the fur texture and colour correctly. I simplify this process through the use of acrylic glazes so that colour mixing and selection doesn't become stressful. I show how to adjust the colour of the fur through these glazing techniques and then how to build up depth in the fur through additional detail layers. The next acrylic tutorial will feature how to paint tree bark using the branch section of this painting.
