How to Paint Realistic FUR Easily

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

Thanks for watching! Wondering how to paint a certain animal? Leave me a comment with the next tutorial you want to see! Want to know what art supplies I use? Check it out: kit.co/DaniTrudeau/art-supplies

[@megangarcia6991]

Is it possible to paint realistic fur without the glaze? Or is glaze the big secret to getting it to look ultra realistic? Thanks in advance!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

You can definitely create realistic fur without glazing if you are much more careful with your colour mixing throughout your painting. I personally find glazing to be much easier, and gives you more flexibility 😊

[@patplants6272]

Brindle boxer would be wonderful! Thanks!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

Great suggestion! Adding it to the list 😊

[@megangarcia6991]

Just a thought, maybe for the next video, have a reference photo on one side for the person watching to follow along what you’re seeing. 😍 great tut though!! Thank you!

[@nattzart6601]

This is probably one of the best fur tutorials I have ever watched. Thanks for sharing your techniques, hopefully now I can try finish my dog portrait.

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

So glad you found it helpful!! 😊

[@aquamarine2416]

me toooo , I almost finished 4 bottles and still can't make it ,, 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Iampositive1234]

As easy and informative as this video is it’s still difficult to get my head around this technique. So there’s no solution other than practise practise practise. Thankyou for though

[@Andarsia]

Competition can really help improve your skills too!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

Agreed! Plus it can be a lot of fun too 😊

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Absolutely beautiful. I love how the wolf fur turned out. I'm starting my first wolf painting and this is really helpful. Next is painting a portrait of my frenchies lol. Thanks for sharing

[@maggievida]

WOW!!! Thank you so much, Danielle, for such an INSPIRING tutorial with so many educational 'basics' tips that I really need!!! I watched someone else's video just prior and he was discussing the 'glazing technique' in greater detail which helped me with your video. Otherwise I might have thought you were using a special type of paint (that's how much of a beginner I am)! I'll be watching more of your videos ... you make it all look so darned easy but of course, it takes years and years to get to your level!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

I’m so glad my videos could be of help! 😊😊

[@ericbussart9465]

I'm working on a large mural with a dog in the front, never painted a dog before and it was not going well. This was incredibly helpful, thank you

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

I’m so glad it was helpful!! 😊

[@spocpodcast]

Oh man, now I want to paint over my entire project and start over. But then again I may be able to save it with your tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@GDOLCEVITA]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have always been frustrated because I started by painting the fur first and it would always look so muddy and one dimensional, but now that I realize that you should start with the base color, it all came together.

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@thisthattheotherthing2796]

Excellent! Thank you for breaking it down and explaining the steps. Much appreciated!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@meghanworkman6449]

This was so helpful! I want to paint a portrait of my long-haired grey cat and was feeling a bit overwhelmed with how to go about it. Your video helped me understand the process so much better, and now I feel more confident at giving it a try. Thank you!

[@ChooseTruthAlways]

Dear Danielle this is so very Helpful! 🙏🙏🙏💕

[@LEE-kq9tq]

TY. I'm a visual learner and this was really helpful to a beginner such as myself.

[@dezkarcy]

I'm trying to paint Chewbacca, and your tutorials are a HUGE Help!!!! THanks!

[@NellekeBruno]

Thank you Danielle! It give me more confidence to give it a try!

[@kerryMcleod-ff4yk]

Awesome teaching,U do explain n show very well,step by step,thankyou.

[@joannschoenleber813]

Best fur tutorial ever!! Thanks 🙏 Danielle

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@0230Raveena]

Absolutely beautiful....even in this small piece of fur, you can get the full glory of what the entire animal would look like. I'm here because I want to paint my dogs, a sort of magnum opus work with very limited abilities. One can dream. 🙂

[@mindbodyyou724]

This is beautiful - such fun watching it all come together from a blob to the 'real live thing'. Thank you for the video. I will explore more. Want to do my Tibetan Mastiff and create some for those in sheltered housing not allowed to have a second dog.

[@dorothygladsjo3510]

You make it look like a newbie like me could actually do this!

[@VP47212]

You are so talented. Your paintings are beautiful and your videos are so helpful. I will definitely start following you more from now on. Thank you so much 🥰

[@angelasmith2163]

Love your tutorial. Thank you! I have an American Eskimo dog & would love to try paint him, but not sure what colors to use for the underpainting?

[@carmenyoung2667]

This was such a great video. Exactly the instruction I needed. Would love to see a video on painting very short fine hair such as the nose of a tiger with short strokes where the fur is very thin. This I find is the hardest area to do

[@carmenospina2203]

Wow. This is great tutorial. Will definitely follow you on this method. Thank you.

[@ParleyVous77]

Wow. Amazing simple to follow video. Thank you. 🇺🇸

[@cuddyhand]

[@whitney0524]

Thank you so much! Very helpful for sure. And what a beautiful result! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brushstrokes68]

Just discovered the use of glazes 👍 another great tip. Thank you

[@robroy289]

Really nice tutorial on painting fur. Would appreciate another showing how to make the transitions from body to head/face on animals that have finer fur. Guess I should dig into more of your videos than just this first intro to your work. Also curious to know how dry the painting was before you applied the glaze. No tack whatsoever?

[@paulsudhakar5477]

Very nice work, so beautiful.God bless you.

[@lorenafernandez7977]

Daniell, wonderful job, you make it looks so easy but we know its not easy. question, do you wait between layers to dry to add the next one ( I mean between the first full fill you do general big cover and the second with more details? thanks in advance for answer💞

[@Jorgegomez-fe5lv]

Great Tutorial!!

[@RameyRocks]

This was a GREAT video! Your fur looks realistic!

[@lillaszaboova7152]

Do you have some tips for beginners who don't paint that fast and the acrylic color is already dry when it comes to blending with dry brush? The video is very helpful!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

Using a slow-drying medium with acrylics can be a huge game-changer! I painted with acrylics for years and that medium helped so much to extend the drying time. Keeping a spray bottle filled with plain water with a super fine mist to lightly mist your painting can also be a huge help 😊

[@40bdg]

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

[@ragdollrose2687]

This just popped up on my feed while painting a cat for a birthday gift 😊

[@traceywalsh7672]

Thank you, for this fabulous video! I am new to acrylic painting but found this video very helpful as l want to paint my cat's face and part of her neck. I am wondering where do l start? A little lost in how to start 🙄 do l start with her eyes first and work my way outwards? Could l please ask that you do a cats face, long haired cat if possible to give me confidence on what to do. Thank you in advance!

[@debbiegentry5878]

It outs be nice to identify the brushes you are using, as well as a reference photo for those of us trying to learn.

Fabulous! Is it all painted with acrylics and do you just mix water with the acrylic for the glazes?

[@albania10]

Very helpful tutorial thank you so much, you can learn a lot just by looking at your steps, I am not a beginner, but you can always learn and improve, thanks again.

[@AlvaradoArt]

Thank you, been hesitant to do a wolf but this will help. Want to do a bit more animals on my channel.

[@irenemu6808]

can you advise on the paint brush set to use for fur please

[@leecornelius7159]

Hi, I just watched your video. It's extremely helpful! I'm ready to paint a fox for my son for Christmas, and I want to get the details right. I have blocked the background colors, now I need to move on from that. Your video is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your talents and techniques.

[@victorialeif9266]

Nice. I’m wondering what kind of paint? Did you use paper? Canvas? How did you make the glazes?

[@Unknown-dw1xi]

I want to paint my tuxedo kitty🥰

[@christineHoxsey]

I learned so my from this video Thank you!

[@RudyAragon]

when blending with the dry, do you clean it after every section or do you just go as is without?

[@breathingart]

Very detailed explanation. Thanks~!

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@romanafletcher]

Wow super helpful tutorial. Do you use Filbert and round brushes?

[@peggypuralewski8619]

Was there any dry time or do you paint non stop. Thank you, great video.

[@dr.patriciadoddd.c.3235]

Hello! Great tutorial on fur! I love it! I have 2 questions. Is that oil or acrylic? And did you let layers dry before the next one?

[@vickimosser8244]

Just found you. This video is great! I'm unsure what glazing is. You you mix your paint with something. I'm very amateur doing snowman etc but wanting to move on. Second time I've heard mention of glazing. Thx so much for your video

[@lyndagauthier8847]

So nice. Thank you

[@WenHesse]

Can you do with oil paints? Your videos are greats❤

[@naturalmgfilmstudio2285]
