I have a painting I'm trying to do without reference or instruction and hair is going to be a major part. Braids with highlights and single hairs across the face. Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video before I try it out on my painting.

I found watching the entire process to be the most useful. I have not yet attempted to paint hair or fur for that matter. Michele’s expertise has given me a far better chance of pulling this off. I bought the pallet Michele showed in the video and it is wonderful.

The white HDPE cutting boards have a similar texture. You can find the smaller ones pretty cheap.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Yes I have a similar one in the kitchen

[@susanbuckley1964]

Very comprehensive. Thanks Michele.

[@sharonbaker8851]

All great ideas! I was wondering how to approach starting the hair and build it up!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Any time!

First time trying these (or any ) hair techniques and I look at my results with pleasure. The key that you discussed about layers is handy. I can see this technique working of fur and even tree bark. thx for tutorial

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Yes I have a similar video for fur coming soon :-)

[@margaretprosser1060]

You are so welcome!

Thanks so much!! Hair is very challenging. You explained it so well.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you!

All good ideas! Thank you for this tutorial. I wanted to try the embossing method while watching this video and found that it is a bit tricky with the watercolor pencils. It seems to work only on smooth paper and only on prepared watercolor applied with a brush, but not on the penciled that was blended on paper. Of course everything takes practice. 😊

Thinking on how to paint hair like mine. Gray and black roots, remnants of purple dye on ends, some sunfade between with gold and reddish highlights. A challenge I will tackle when my confidence grows or I redye it all purple again.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Purple sounds great. I've been told to embrace the gray, but I don't like it. On other people yes, but it's not for me!

SWEET! Do you have any tips for acrylics and hair? I'm a returning "beginner" doing portraits. Love from across the waters in the USA.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

With acrylics you can use a rough brush and put more than one colour on your brush at a time allowing them to blend on the surface, paint in the direction of growth :-)

really useful, I really struggle with hair ☺☺

Thanks for the great tips. My Watercolor pencils are feeling neglected.

Fantastic tutorial, but your nailpolish is slightly disturbing the colours you add on paper. Just saying.
