Omg awesome eye tip!!!! Truly....one of my all time favorite tips now! And so glad you found this outlet. Your paintings are beautiful...

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Oh you mean the tip on painting eyes where you cannot see the iris? I see many artists struggling with that. It makes SUCH a HUGE difference. So glad I can help! And thank you 🙏

[@sharitapatterson4591]

I would love to see a video of you explaining how to pick and choose a background when painting dog portraits please 🥺🙏🥺 🙏

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

I appreciate your comment dear. I'm hoping my next tutorial will help you. I'll be covering lots of pet portrait questions including backgrounds.

[@donnayoung9734]

I really like this, I got a couple traceable of yours but gonna try this. Thank you for your tutorials for us. May God bless you

[@kayskreations1241]

Do you have any 12 step videos for doing cats? I would love to learn how to paint my own cat

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

I certainly do, I've linked it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nInNc4d4idyarq8si=14dGkoMfN6IpJiCO

[@waynemoody2759]

No whiskers?

[@mariac8461]

Hi! Love your videos new subscriber here :) where do you get all your acrylic paint and your brushes ?

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Hello dear, I have them linked in my videos, but I'll link them again here for ya. I uses Master's Touch medium and heavy body paint I buy from Hobby Lobby, I also get a few colors by Liquetex. Brushes I buy from Arteza ONLY, I rarely use any other brushes. Here's a few links.

Great video. Do you use a grid to get the drawing? How do you go from the photo to drawing on the canvas?

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Sometimes I’ll use a grid, but most times I apply my drawing system.

[@andreag601]

Love your tip videos! Our golden retriever had to get out down due to old age and loosing his back leg. He couldn't stand up anymore and was refusing to eat or drink. I miss that dog everyday! Beautiful painting of a golden retriever!

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Aww I’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. That’s such a hard experience! I hope you get to paint this one and grieve through the process.

[@andreag601]

@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 yeah I like your painting process and I think I want to try some techniques you mention for my own art.

[@DragonDoodles2450]

Thanks, Lauren! I also love to paint animals and these tutorials have great tips.

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Oh I’m so thrilled to hear that. Feel free to share tutorial requests!

[@rescueaunty6097]

Thank you Lauren! Another beautiful informative tutorial.

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

Donna you are most welcome! I'm so thankful you feel that way. I feel blessed to be able to make tutorials like this.

[@Freeyourself206]

Just some feedback: it is hard to follow when you switch from color to color in one area instead of doing the dark color everywhere, then the next color wherever it goes. It also makes it hard for the viewer to discern how to do it themselves on a different painting that is theirs. I much prefer the videos that use one color at a time all over.

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

I mention both in this video incase beginners would prefer that option. I do, however, find this videos technique helps me to create a more realistic pet portrait.

[@Freeyourself206]

@@laurenelizabethanimalart3215 I can see how this is Nie for experienced painters.

[@Goose395]

I just came across your channel and it is by far the best I've seen for explaining and breaking down the whole process. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

When I read this it totally made my day! I needed to hear it so thank you. I hope I can continue serving you in your art and breaking things down in my upcoming videos ❤️

[@waynemoody2759]

Spoke too soon. So enjoyable.

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

[@elvajames1647]

What brand of fine brushes do you use?

[@laurenelizabethanimalart3215]

I use all Arteza brushes. I’ve got the list in the description. I use the detail brush pack and the variety Arteza brushes. Very affordable and they’ve been lasting for years!
