I'm so excited, my life is all about dogs! Thanks so much for your instructions!

[@TheArtSherpa]

You are incredibly welcome I’m excited about it to

[@barbibarnum]

Cinnamon this was GREAT!!! But I do have to admit, when the dogs were there behind you I maaaaaaayyyyyyy have been too busy looking at them to listen . I CAN"T WAIT TO GET STARTED WITH THIS!!!!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

I found the dogs to be delightfully distracting too. We’re gonna be sure to do that in the upcoming segments about fur as well

[@DanielleTrudeauStudios]

Love seeing that gorgeous blue on your palette! Adding colour to black (and white!) fur seems like an odd choice but you’re right, it makes SUCH a difference!

[@eileenjones6617]

Yes. Loved this art video.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so much

[@gwen7005]

Best teacher on line. Thank you.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you very much I appreciate that

[@garimasinghkilpatrickart]

Detailed art tutorials like this are so important to beginner artists and students. I feel so confident about attempting fur after watching this session. Thank you for all the work you put into this and all your tutorials!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

So nice of you 😍

[@lauriejordan9800]

Great videos of doggies too!

[@loislevandoski1246]

Wow, Cinnamon! That was fabulous!!! I had a cocker spaniel who I miss so much and I never thought I could paint him! Great job! Thank you! ❤️

[@salcameron8451]

Fantastic lesson... so much info

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you it was one of my favorites to put together

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so much it was a lot of fun putting together. And I’m looking forward to what we’re gonna do next

[@cg13456]

Black fur! Yes!

[@jeanthompson2459]

Cinnamon, I have a black Cavapoo, who has a few touches of white and then grey in her feet. Very similar to a cocker spaniel. Looking forward to the black lab painting. She also has beautiful waves in her coat.

[@TheArtSherpa]

I will be doing long black fur and curled black for in the future. I have a cava poo to but she is cream

[@arizonathielen9453]

So looking forward to this. Big art quest.

[@TheArtSherpa]

[@EskayStudios]

Fantastic lesson

[@TheArtSherpa]

Anne thank you I really appreciate your encouragement

[@sandracampbell9822]

Love the fur babies!!! My two fur babies are Chinese crested. No hair. God only made a few perfect dogs and then she covered the rest with hair. That’s what my pooches tell me.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Well I have to agree they sound of adorable. Or even more importantly adogable

[@teentb2075]

This is so great... fantastic detailed, easy to understand, step by step information on painting 🐶fur! Thank you so much Cinnamon, can't wait for your next one TTFN 😊

[@TheArtSherpa]

Yeah this was a lot of fun to put together I’m actually really glad it’s a series. Also it’s nice to just get into the fur on occasion

[@lilylily9012]

Love your Dr. Who necklace. Great video now I can paint my black and white pittie. 🤗

[@TheArtSherpa]

I love reading that. We are going to definitely have some pittie love in the quest

[@maryellenworley4901]

Thank you for explaining this, definitely will practice!

[@michellebrandt9567]

I love using the rake brush

[@TheArtSherpa]

It’s a really wonderful brush

[@terryyorke8497]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Actually thank you so much for all your painting tutorials. My son wants me to paint his black black black lab mix. In all her pics she just looks black. There’s no shiny details. She’s so black you can’t even see her eyes. Anyway, you have opened my eyes to see more. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for everything you do. Oh ya, thanks goes to your husband for the great video work so we can see everything you’re doing. I can’ wait for the black lab tutorial this weekend.

[@TheArtSherpa]

We’re gonna have a great time painting this dog and we’re going to get you painting your son’s dog. It’s just gonna be fun times all the way around

[@amanishajay914]

Can you please do an acrylic portrait? I struggle with painting portraits and there is one I want to paint.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Have you watched the Big Art Quest - About Face? I would start there. And yes, I will do more portraits. 🌼

[@TheArtSherpa]

I want you to know that I really appreciate the support though. And the fact that you take the time to leave a comment it really means the world to me

[@heatherlundquist-buffalo]

Love this! I just found this and have been doing dog and cat paintings and even bird paintings for a year now (I've been an artist since I was 3 lol but painting big time the past year! Usually I was a pencil or ink artist, but changed to acrylics!)

[@psychcw]

Another great tutorial! Is that a Mothman necklace?

[@TheArtSherpa]

No it’s a tardis.

[@psychcw]

@@TheArtSherpa Oh my goodness, I was way off! And this is why I need to wear my glasses!

[@TheArtSherpa]

thank you !!

[@anessaharris9947]

😀

[@kayvallance9560]

looking forward to this!!! ...but what about the kitties?

[@TheArtSherpa]

Cat Quest is planned after dog quest but we may do a catuday marathon before !!

[@Jennifr1966]

The body of the dog I'm painting is only about 2 inches. Should I still be using wide brushes?

[@TheArtSherpa]

Great question smaller brushes is better for small paintings

[@amanishajay914]

Can you do a video on painting that pug???

[@TheArtSherpa]

Yes!! Yes we can

[@ruthrodriguez8539]

I had a English chocolate lab

[@crystalblake8619]

How about a blonde dog?

[@TheArtSherpa]

Absolutely for sure
