Acrylic Painting : Cat Portrait

1. Intro: There's nothing like the unconditional love of a pet. They show you a fiction, give you a sense of purpose, and greet you every day when you come home. Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented, disconnected culture. Politics or ugly. Religion is struggling, technologies stressful, and economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives? That we can depend on a dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, everyday, very faithfully. So this class is specially designed for animal lovers, friends. My name is mohini Sinha and I'm from India and this is my pet to do. He's also saying hi and really very excited to be on the cameras. So just so many of you know me as more any Art Gallery from my Instagram account. This time, I have brought for you guys, especially the animal lovers, the gag painting, as most of you had seen me on my Instagram, I have been already uploading pictures of it. This time, especially for the animal lovers. This painting is for you. This is the complete painting which I will be teaching everything from the background details, from the layering, the glazing, the I technique, everything I will from scratch real-time. And also how to protect your Painting by doing varnishing, how to frame it. Everything will be in the schools. So I hope you guys will enjoy doing this painting and do share your reviews and project works if you are really animal lovers. And without wasting our time, Let's start with the painting 2. Materials Required: Let's discuss about the materials. So the first thing which we'll be needing is the canvas. This is the canvas, pre primed canvas of medium green, which I have already just wanted to three times. So, and this is, you can see your hard board behind this canvas I'll be using. And the colors which will be needing is for the background, black and red. And for the Cat Painting, we'll be needing Alizarin crimson, raw sienna, bond on board, Naples, yellow. Then this is the permanent yellow, deep and white and black and this is green gold apart from this will also be needing cadmium yellow. This is the palate and the jar for water Tissue Paper. And these are the brushes which we'll be needing. Flat brush, round brush, and the rigger brushes apart from this knife for mixing the colors. So these are all the brushes which I will be using for this painting is a rigger brush to by 01. And another small size round brush to this is all rigger brushes, round brush and the palate. So all these materials I will be using, well, doing the painting. So let's start with the painting 3. Background Blocking: Hello friends, welcome back. So this is the sketch which I have done. I will be sharing the sketch with you guys also. You can just trace it or you can do it with grid method. It's up to you how you want to do the sketching part. So this is the canvas which I have used, and this stays the two colors which I'll be using, red and black. Whichever red you have, you can use it. And the black color. So both the colors I will be mixing because I don't want it to be perfectly black. It will be a little, you can say, or brownish touch to it when we add red to it. So I'll just be mixing it with the palette knife nicely and I will apply on the background part. So try to use more of red and little bit less of black, because if you use more of plaque, then it will be completely black. So try to use more of red in it. Now after mixing it with my palette, I'll take my flat brush and start applying the first coat of the background. I've just just dip the brush and water and I'm taking this color and I'm just applying it on the background part. So try to apply it slowly. We will be needing at least two coats of the background covering because in one code you don't get the exact finish. When you apply two coats of it, you get a nice finished to the background of the painting. So do it very slowly. Take your own time and try not to take that color inside drawing or sketch, but you have done do it very slowly. And also you can use your round brush or liner brush for doing the pods, which are near the border of that sketch. I am doing directly with this flat brush, but you can use your round brush also for first outlining the sketch, and then you can fill in the colors. Now this is just the initial part which we are doing. We're just covering the background. And this is around canvas, which is of size ten inch. And you can use bigger size canvas, doesn't require that you have to use round canvas only. You can use square, rectangle whatever size you want. You can use it. And this canvas or have primed, primed it at least 23 times, and then I'm using it for a painting. So if you want a perfect finish on the Canvas, at least try to prime it to three times before starting with any painting. So you can see I'm doing the areas which are near to the sketch Part very slowly so that the color does not go inside that sketch part because this is a dark color. So try to do it very carefully. Avoid the colors for ongoing inside that sketch part. And if you are facing issue with doing with the flat brush, try to use your round brush for doing this area. These corners, especially now one side I have already done. Now we'll do the other side, but I'll try to use first the smallest size brush. This is my rigger brush. So first I will just outline it and then I will try to fill in the colors. So first, what I'm doing is I'm just outlining the sketch from the outer side line and then I will start filling the colors. Same way you can do the entire BAD just for us to outline the sketch, the round brush or rigger brush, and then you can fill in the colors. This is also a good option for filling out the background. To do it slowly take your own time and cover the entire part. Don't use too much water in your paint because you can see I haven't used any water in my paint. I'm just directly using the paint. Water is just on my brush. So that much amount of water is enough for doing this acrylic painting. So don't use too much water when you are doing Acrylic Painting. We're almost done with the first code. And now after this first quarters for lead dry, we'll do these second coat of this background so that it perfectly clean and nice. So we'll wait for it to dry perfectly. And then we'll start the second coat. So we'll just leave it aside and then now it's completely dry. You can see just feel it. If it is not sticky and it is fully dry, then you can always do the second code. Now here also again, I'm doing first the outline with the rigor brush, and then we'll start filling the colors. Do it very carefully, and try to do it with very neatly so that the colors does not get inside the sketching part. And take your own time, own speed, and do it carefully because it's a simple painting, but background has to be very neat and clean. Now here again, I'm using my flat brush and just overdoing on that. Just one more code so that it looks perfectly fine finish. And then we are good to go with the painting. So just enjoy the process of blocking the background. Now once we're done with the background, we'll start painting this so dire. The first D background and then the background of the cat and then the eyes. So there's a lot of layering in this. So let's start with the Cat Painting. 4. Blocking The Cat: Hello friends, welcome back. So now let's start with this background painting of cat. So these are two colors that is burnt umber and raw sienna. So the lighter part will be using raw sienna. And for the darker burnt Dumbo. Let's start. I'm using my round brush and I've just dip the brush in water and I'm just taking raw sienna. First. And fourth, I will apply the colors on the lighter part. So all these areas are lighter, so I'm just applying raw sienna to this. You can use any brush around brush or flat brush, but use smaller size brushes so that it'll be easy for you to paint. I'm just covering the lighter part. We will take very small amount of color and do the blocking. Don't take too much color on your brush. And water is only on my brush. That's it. I haven't use extra water in this. So just taking that little amount of color and just blocking the areas which are light. So these all wrinkles are in light shade, which has darker shade in the middle. Now this lower part is also a little lighter and shades, so I'm just applying a bit of lighter color to this, also, taking little more of dark and light mix that has raw sienna and burnt umber. These two colors are very good for painting the background because whenever we do any painting, the first layer is the darker color. And then as we do the fur painting, it becomes lighter and lighter. So that every time when we do the background painting of a portrait or animal or anything. But first we use darker color and for the background. And then 44 painting we use lighter color. So that's why I'm trying to be in a little darker shade. And I'm just doing the areas which are darker by mixing both the colors. So it's more of burnt umber and less of raw sienna. So do it slowly take your own time. No need to do it in a hurry since this is a little bit of intermediate level Painting. So you need to take breaks in between because this is almost two plus as painting so you don't have to finish in one go. You can take breaks and then start with it. So whenever you are doing these types of paintings, so drawing is very important. So each and every layer you have to draw, each and every wrinkles and everything you have to draw to keep the painting more realistic. The more you do accurate drawing, the more it will be helpful for you to paint properly. So I'm just adding the darker colors slowly. And just trying to block in this nose part. This is just the first layer of the background Painting which we are doing. And there will be so much less of first, which will add into this painting to give it a realistic look. And in this, acrylic colors, don't use too much water. Water should be only on your brush. Brush that does more than enough, and all. You can use directly the colors. Don't make the colors ten. Now here I'm adding little black because will be needing little more darker color. So I'll be adding black also to where it just blocking the nose area. The darker color. So now here I will be using smaller sized round brush does of size two for painting the details. So all these layers which are there under the eyes, It's good that you use smaller sized round brush so that you can easily paint it out. Now the darker part below, first is the lighter color and the darker colors. So there are variations of colors in the phase part. Now this is the darker parts. I'm just adding little black to it. And this area is totally dark So I'll just apply the darker color first. So this area is dark because it has a shadow effect. This area is more darker the side, that's why I've added little black toward this area is more towards the light. The light is coming towards the other side. So and this part is darker sides, so I have used the darker color. I've just added little black to it. So all these things you have to take care where the light is falling on the face. So light is falling on the face and the other side is darker. In every painting, whether you do landscape portraits or board painting, all these things had to be taken care. So slowly, slowly we are doing the background, but I'm not doing it in a fast forward manner so that you can do it along with me. Do the black area. All these are the darkest areas where I'm doing it with a darker color. It's to the upper part which is little lighter in shade. So I'm just adding the lighter color and this darker color mix, just applying on the top of it and blocking it slowly. Yes, the blocking plays a very important role in paintings equal, because when we're doing the blocking VR, actually figuring out the colors where it should be dark and where it should be light. So how the first should be there, whether they should be lighter or darker color for all these things matter when we're doing these portrait paintings. On those ear part, which is in the center, is dark color in color. So I'm just putting little black to it, just covering it with darker color. Again comes the lighter color, which is mixed color of both. So more of this raw sienna and less of burnt umber. I'm just trying to give a shape to it because when we were doing the blocking the shape, some dark color gotten sided. This also you can do if you're this bird sketch has been disturbed by this background painting. The, one of the advantage of using acrylic is that you can always overdo the colors if you want. But whenever you are overdoing any colors, make sure that the base color has dried off completely. Now this part is little darker in color. And then the lighter version. So this three colors we are doing the complete blocking off the upper phase. Do it very slowly. Take your time. No need to be in a hurry. Take your own time and do it very slowly. Because all these paintings take time. I have finished and two plus US, but it might be for you 5 h, so it depends upon your speed and how much you are practicing the painting. So take your own time and don't do it in a hurry. Outcomes, the darker part, which is the above little black I'm adding to it and I'm just covering it with darker color 5. Final Blocking Of Cat: So now let's continue further with the blocking. So let's, I'm using same round brush over you. So first, the mix of both the colors and now the lighter color first to the lower part. So just blocking this with the smaller sized round brush. Just slowly filling the colors. You can use round brush of size two or four, depending upon the size of the image you are drawing. Now let's do the darker part. So these all are the first, which are the lower section. So first I'm just outlining the area which is the body part. Then the lighter color to the lower part of below the chin. So this is a chain part. So again, mixing board the colors and trying to do the gen bad. So adding little water to wet because when you do all these types of paintings, your brush gets sticky. So when you're Brushes getting sticky, just wash off your brush and then use the brush. Here, I'm adding little white to it because there are little lighter for CSE also. Now mixing white with this raw sienna and just applying the force. So first the lower part is that lighter in color and the upper part of the four is darker in color. So this is how we need to do the blocking. So just making it in watercolor direction, vertical direction, and unjust blocking it for us. The lines which I have drawn, I'm not filling the entire color with this and die abortions because the upper area is dark. So only the lighter part I'm doing first and then we will do the darker part. You just need to move the brush in vertical direction to give it a for loop. Now when we will be doing the 40 dealing will get an idea that where there is a lighter shade and where there is darker shades. So this is all we are going to do, the four painting as well. So this is just the blocking. Now we're doing the darker part. So these upper area is a darker part, so I'm just applying on top of the lighter color. So similarly, you can do any Portrait Painting, either does Dog, cow, or there, any Painting which is, which is the one who handles are having four. You can do paintings like this. So I'm just adding more lighter color to this. So first dog and then light. Now again, the darker color the portions which I have left blank. So I'm just filling it with darker color. Slowly. You need to do it. Use smaller sized round brush for doing this. I am doing a little bit fast, but you can take your own time and do it slowly. No need to do it in a hurry. This video will be dead. You can always check, redo and reject the video and do the painting. Again. Even there's option to slow down the video. You can do that also. So you can see how I'm just filling the gaps with the darker colors. And same vertical motion. Painting. I'm doing just line, line, line I'm just blocking the entire thing. So yes, every time whenever we do any background Blocking Of animal, so it takes time. The background painting is very important in any painting and any portrait. So whenever you do any Portrait, always try to do the darker color first. The background should be in dark color. And as you do differ details, it should be lighter and lighter. So the more layering you will do, the more realistic the fall will look. So all these things we'll see in this painting will go step-by-step. So we're first only doing the blocking, and then we'll go with the eyes, nose, and then the fur painting. You can see the below is done. Now we will do the upper left part, which is left out. Now let's do the darker bought mic's there. Now the lighter part is there witches or below? I've just added white also do this because it does not so light. But yes, it is light. Not just blocking that ear part with darker color. And then the lighter color. And just mixing board the colors together. Now comes this pathway that is most damage and everything and the lines of the lips. So that will do with darker color and rest. We'll do it lighter color. This part is also light in color. Now the eye is Part also more light in color. The underwrite. Now let's create the lines with where the wrinkles are coming with the darker color. And then we'll do the blocking with lighter color. This lighter color Part. I've also added a bit of white to it to give a contrast between the lower body part and the upper face Part. Two just blocking the spot which is left, that is the mouth part. We're almost done with the blocking will now start with doing the iPod and the four-part. So almost we're done with the blocking. You can see it's already looking very nice. Even we have done just the first layer. Suggest outlining with the darker color 6. First Eye Detailing: So now let's start with the painting. So the colors which will be needing here is this area is left and the iPad. The colors here is the white color, black color. Then burnt umber, green, gold, and Alizarin crimson. And this is the liner brush which will be using. So let's start with the painting. Now let's first do this part. So taking this Alizarin crimson little bit of bond umber, mixing both the colors. So let's first take more of bond Dumbo. And let's start doing the outer portion, a little bit of black Also, we don't want very reddish thing. So just adding little black also do it and just outlining the outer line of the eye. So whenever you are doing such details, use a very fine line. Brush. Either two-by-two, zero, or three by zero size brush. Just outlining it and also covering this part with the darker color. So take your diamond, do it very carefully. And also the spot which is inside area is also another outline. Now this is the outer part of the eye and the inside part is also there. Here I will be taking Naples yellow because little bit of yellowish shade is also there. So first I will cover this darker part. Now, adding little bit of Naples yellow to this to create some more muted color. And I will just fill in this in side Part, adding little more white, little more yellow and just covering the inside. But do it very slowly and carefully because I is the main part of the Portrait Painting and it should be perfect. Now once we're done with the outer part, taking little black to red to create more darker shade. I wouldn't want to use directly black, so I'm just trying to add red to it. And then outlining the whole I bought. Lines should be as fine as possible. Now does brush, which I'm using here is the rigger brush of size zero from Princeton. These are very good Brushes. So first I've done the outer outlining. I'm adding more black and Alizarin crimson to it. Again, I will do the inside lines also. Now the inside round part, I'm just outlining it first. So I is the most important part of the painting. So do it very carefully and take your own time when you are doing it. So now let's do the bot, which is the inside but not other. There's a shadow now I'm taking green gold and a little bit black mix to it. Mixing little white Also. Now, little bit of burnt umber, and then just covering the part which is on the spot and just giving lines to the area which is in-between that oval circle part and just covering that area? Similarly to the other side Also, it's like a round shape to it. And now let's take this Naples yellow and little bit wide mixing board the colors and adding this color to the outer part. So the middle part, which is the eyeball is little greenish and the outer part is little more yellowish. So I've added more yellow and white two-word. Do it very slowly and adding more bond umbo to this mix and a bit of green gold. And covering this area, which is the more darker part like a shadow part you can say does. I'm just covering this part and leaving some portion which is exactly white reflection In see there's a white reflection also there, which will be doing with white. So this whole part is the darkest part. And Z we are slowly moving towards the Detailing of the eyes. And the middle part is the N black color, which is like oval in shape but it is pointed. So now you can see how this eyes looking like, bright and beautiful when you add that black color to it. Now we'll add more black and red color mix and we'll do more of outlining. Now, the inside outlining we are doing. It's more towards red than black. And just outlining and covering the spot also. Now, slowly we are moving towards more of the Detailing. So I'm again outlining it with black to give it a more nice shape to it. 7. Second Eye Detailing: So now let's mix a little bit of this. Bond. Dumbo, white and green, gold, little bit of black. So it is all me. It's like a grayish, olive color, you can say. And applying on these areas, this is a round circular area which I'm just creating lines, Fine lines. So whenever you are using creating such details, please, you will find line brush for this, at least two by zero or three by zero, then only you will be able to do such details. You can see I'm just lining it vertically as the in the direction of the oval. Also taking little white and applying to that white area with white spot over there. Just applying it with white. So very small, small detail matters a lot, especially in the painting. And now I'm just outlining the outer part of the black portion with white to take very tan color and try to outline it. Do as fine as possible so that it would look more realistic when you do it very fine. So I'm creating light grayish shade also and also outlining this white part. So small, small details actually matters a lot in the painting. Now I'm adding red and white mix. So very light, reddish color I want and we'll just do the outlining of this insight. But there's a black outline and there is a white outline also. So there are two outlines, one as the black outline and the other one is the white, not wide, it is pinkish outline. You can see. This outline adds more beauty to the painting. So do it very slowly. And whenever you are doing these readers. So whenever you are doing such details, tried to make it very fine and for doing it Fine, make the color little bit fluid. So now the second Eye. So whenever you are outlining it, make the color a little fluid, then only you will be able to outline it. If you will use take color, you will not be able to outline it. So try to use ten gala when you are doing the outlining Part. Little fluid color. How you can make it fluid, just adding little more water than we used to add water. So now let's do the other iPad. Now again, taking this bond Dumbo and Naples yellow mix for us doing this lower part. So this is bit like not orange. You can see a bit of peach color and little darken to make it more dark. So I've just added black and just outlining it first. And then we'll fill the colors. And again, I'm saying that whenever you outlining it, make the color little fluid so that you can do the outlining very smoothly. Now again, taking Naples, yellow, white, and there's green gold mix. And then again trying to do the same inside part first. So same color we're using like we did in this one. But there is less reflection than the other iPad. This is more brighter and shade, actually. The small bright color than this one, because light is falling towards this, I'm more, so it has more light in color. Now here you can use the color because we're not doing any outline, but we're just filling the colors. But when you are doing the outlining, tried to use ten colors Now just making the outer eyeball, which we did here, the more greenish texture. And then we'll create this black eyeball. Taking more of white and just adding more light color goes very light in color actually. So eyes should be very beautiful then only the entire Portrait will look beautiful. So now adding red to this bond, Dumbo, not read it is alizarin crimson. So just outlining it. Now you, you can see I haven't used much of black because it has a more light in color than compared to the other eye. Now just outlining it. Now again, for outlining, make the color a little fluid. Covering this inside part with black. Now you can see this black, but adds beauty to this painting that's completely changes the whole painting and hold Portrait Painting. Now again, adding little black and bond amber to make the outer shades. Just the lines which we did earlier in the first Eye. Take your own time and do it. It's not required that you have to do both the rise in one, go. Take your time, take braids, take half-caf, we have whatever you want. Then take breaks, listen to music and then start doing, don't do this painting in a hearty, otherwise you will spoil this painting. There's a lot of Detailing in this. So you need to take a break and do this painting. So now again, taking little white, a little bit of white and making little tin and just making more lines on the outside. First we did the lines inside and now we are doing the lines outside. And also you have to outline that eyeball with white color. Have not zoomed at much to this painting because if I will zoom menu, not be able to see the colors what I'm mixing it. So that's why I haven't zoomed it. I haven't I have zoomed it to the maximum level so that you can see it. Now just outlining the lower eyeball. Small, small Detailing, which really makes this I beautiful. Now just covering this area which is the eyelash part, you can say. Just covering it very carefully so that it doesn't go inside that iPad. Does Ada as little light in color. So just outlining it with light color. Once we're done with these all outlining and iPad, we'll start with the more with the four level. So giving more reddish texture to this whole round part. Now taking white and pinkish color, do pinkish shade and it'll yellow. I'm adding two-word. Just covering this knows. This knows is very pinkish color and just added little bit of yellow toward yellow, white and Alizarin crimson, Naples yellow. And just blocking in this nose. You can see I'm using the same brush, that liner brush, so that the colors don't go inside the other area. That's why I'm using the smallest size brush. So you also use the smallest size brush when you are doing such small, small failings. There's a darker part and then again the lighter, but now we'll do that Blocking. And then the for details 8. Fur Detailing Part One: So now let's start with the Fur Detailing. So same brush I'm using here, as you can see. So the underwriters with light colors. So first we'll make slight color that is Naples, yellow and white mix. Make it little bit fluid because we need to create fine lines. So it should be little fluid then only will be able to create differs. So just creating small, small lines UK, as you can see under the I do it very carefully. It should not go inside this eye. But otherwise, again, you have to redo the eye. Paintings would do it very carefully. So there's under is very light in color. So small, small hairs, we have to create small lines. And just outlining it also. Again, taking the same color. Just adding more lines. How we do the lines is the, in the direction of the image. The image is curved and the lines also be curved and the images straight lines or the should be straight. Now the iPad is, has to be the lines as to be upward. So just I'm trying to create little bigger lines, which are also the eyebrows and metaphors which are coming from the area. So just mixing more colors and applying it. So do it very carefully and slowly. Now these are bigger lines which I'm drawing. So I'm adding little more white because I want little more white, whitish color. Like creamish color, you can say. Just adding these lines, which will be like the eyelashes. Slowly, slowly will move towards the area. So see, you can see there so many layers which I'm adding, I'm trying to create a very thick fur details of below the eye exactly. So now taking more of water and on my brush and just mixing it. And then again using the same color. And first outlining the area and then trying to create the lines. Very small, small lines are there as well. There is far which is above. So first I'm trying to create a line which divides the nose, but this lighter color. And then we'll create, differ these parts which we have done with lighter color. This, I'm just creating some diagonal lines with the scholar. Slowly, slowly we are proceeding towards it. So first I'm doing the lighter colors and then some darker colors. And this part, I'm just filling it with darker color. This is the bond umbo, which I'm just applying it over here, which is left out in between. Now let's take again this lighter color and start creating the for now these lines a little bit in diagonal direction. So as the Gulf of the head is, so the lines also should be like that only. So it depends entirely on how your body surfaces if the disk corvee, the line should also be called, which should not be straight. So this is just the first layer of T4 which we are doing. We have to do multiple layers of it. So this is just a starting and we have to complete the entire painting philosophers. So take your diamond, do it very slowly and make sure that your color is bit fluid, likely milky color. It should not be a TIG Gallo otherwise, that effect, that line effect will not come up. So try to use ten color. Now just outlining this year Part first. Similarly, the other ear Also I'm just outlining it. You can see already the effect of the is coming up because we have already done the iPod. Now the feather part is left, which we will be doing slowly and gradually. And you're, there is a white part which is more I'm putting more white to it 9. Fur Detailing Part Two: So now you can see I've just taken a fresh pallet. And these are the colors. So Naples, yellow, white, burnt umber, and there's another color which is deep yellow, or you can take orangey color, It's a bit of orange shade color. So I'm just mixing white with this Naples yellow. And first trying to create a more vibrant lines on the below part. Just outlining, lining the first. So the more Layer you give to the first, the more realistic and furry it looks actually just making little fluid and trying to create more and more lines on the top of it. Do it slowly and patiently. Take your time. And All these are being done with just one brush. That is the rigger brush of size two-by-two zero. Use smaller size brush for creating such textures and details. Don't use bigger size brushes. So again, these Eye, which is there, I'm just outlining it. I'm just creating some nice dark shade. Not shade actually, it's a dark value to it. There's more of white in it so that it becomes more vibrant. And adding more lines on the top of the eyes that are the eyelashes which are coming out. So draw these lines as close as possible. And these are all like S shaped curved lines which I'm trying to create. Each and every four plays a very important role in this. All these force directions are different. Now the news here does the nose part where I'm creating the fern. You can see this is little bit in diagonal shape. And as we are going towards this side, the shape is all diagonal. It's not straight, it's diagonal. So you have to create a little bit of diagonal lines to create under that much damage area. So this is all the lines which I'm trying to create. Taking more of this color and trying to give more lines toward the lines are, towards the end. These all are wrinkles which are there on the head. Now taking this cadmium yellow deep and burnt umber, mixing both the colors and adding little water toward so that it becomes a little fluid and we can easily create the lines. Now I'll start from the top. Now the top part will be a little straight lines. So I'll add more white to it so that the lines are more visible. Now for create, if you don't have cadmium yellow deep, you can use cadmium orange also, but whenever you are using cadmium orange to take less of cadmium orange, cadmium yellow deep is quite orange in color. So you can take cadmium orange Also when you are doing this painting. So just applying on the top where the darker part is there, the lines just filling it slowly and also overlapping little bit on this lighter but also create these lines very closely so that very small, small lines which are in breaks and we're very close to each other. All these are Detailing. Take time and do it very slowly and make sure that your color is a bit murky. Should not be very thick, otherwise these lines will not be created well It should be a little tan color, then only you will be able to create such lines. I've added it in Naples, yellow to red because I want a little more lighter shade. So just adding on below the slider bar. You can see the whole portraits is full of four. So you have to, you can imagine how many lines you have to create in this entire and also you have to do the overlapping. But the final result will be amazing. You will love to see this if you follow each and every step, which I am telling you, you can see these are diagonal lines. But will towards the All are not straight lines. I'm just staying really black Also because we need black also to give some textures. I'll mixing little more and creating little more darker lines. Just adding these lines. There's some darker patch above all sorts of I'm just trying to create a little darker patch above. This has, which are the eyebrows. You can say only one eyebrow is visible. Now the nose, this some decimal part, which is little darker in color. So I'm just adding black to this bond on board and creating a darker shade offered. You can see just straight lines. I'm just trying to do little darker area over here. So take very little amount of color and start creating the lines. Don't take too much color on your brush. And again, I'm repeating is the color should have to be fluid or Medicaid should not have to be thick. Now this area is quite dark, so I'm just applying the darker color. So there are lot soft shades and values which are there inside this for Painting there so many colors which are added to this. So many color compositions. Color mixing is done over here to create that unique color. Again, taking this darker color and doing the eyebrow part. Now this the ear part is also quite dark. So just adding the lines. You can see I'm mixing very little, little color. I'm not mixing too much color in one go, so try to mix a little color and do little Part. Don't mix too much color and then start doing it because there's so many variations in colors. So you have to mix very little color everywhere. Now let's same dark color. We will start using the, this just outlining this jaw part, which is the below part, and creating some small lines. So whenever you are trying to do such type of painting, just keep in your mind that it will take time. Cannot finish in few minutes or in few like in one day. So it takes times. So do it slowly and commonly. Be patient while doing it. If you feel if you don't feel like doing it, stop it and take breaks and do it another day. So no need to do it in one day. So this is just an online session so you can watch it anywhere, anytime. Now with the lighter color. Just adding lighter color on these other side of the nose part and also little bit inside the darker part also suggest adding more textures, more lines to it. Adding more towards this area also, it's difficult to draw the lines on the area which is towards the light. So when we'll do that part will just tell it it and then we'll do that. But again, taking the same light color mix and I'm just trying to create more hairs, more lines, which this is also a diagonal line which I'm creating. So many small, small lines which are overlapping one another. As you can see. This is little lighter area. So just so just trying to blend light and dark color together with just the lines. Also creating some lines. Lighter lines on this area. Lines are coming outwards. So these are horizontal lines 10. Fur Detailing Part Three: So let's start for the with the hair fur painting. So you can see I'm just layering over the dark area of the lighter colors. Also taking a little wide so that the colors become more light and more visible because this side it is quite bright. Colors has been used. So when you add white and little bit of Naples yellow, the brightness increases so that we have to take care in mind that this area, one side it is bright and one side it is dark. So gradually we are moving towards the making of fur. We're first doing the nose. There's so many layers we have to do it now again, I am doing the lighter color on top of that color. So the more layers you do on top of it, the more realistic fur actually looks. So you have to do a lot of layering when you are doing any fur painting, any animal Portrait Painting we're doing, we have to do lots and lots of layering on that. Now you can see I'm padded the lightest color on the top of that orangey shade color. So this side does, you can see this side of disquiet light. The nodes. I'm not covering the entire knows. But yes, the side which is more towards the light I'm covering that. Now D has these wrinkles, I'm just adding more light to it. And whenever you are creating these types of Four, always use your rigger brush that is to bind zero or three by zero. It should be fine liner brushes otherwise that effect will not come up. You can also use round brushes, but round brushes also should be off smaller size. Again, I'm adding more lighter shade to it. On top of the darker one. If you will follow each and every step, which I have done during this painting, the end result will be beautiful. But for this you have to keep lots of patients and lots of discipline. You cannot do it in a hurry. So try to do it very slowly. Now I'm making a little dark color by mixing all three colors we can see and adding the dark lines. Now this is a little more black I'm adding to this color. So that becomes more dark. And now the most part the ring goes, which are the most, judge. So I'm just adding more layers to it. So this is the area where the jaws, meat and the mustache comes out. The hairs. So just making it more unique. Now slowly, slowly. We are moving towards the darker part. Where there's dark part, you have to add darker colors and where there's light part, you have to add lighter color two-word. Now again, I'm adding little more orangey shade on the top of this blackish that I Bro was there. I'm just trying to cover that sharp line. I don't want sharp lines anywhere. I want to cover those with hairs so that what we have to do where there should not be any sharp lines or should be covered with lines and hairs. There are long or here's where I'm just trying to create little longer hairs on top of it. You can see I'm just moving the brush upward from that black area and just covering that part so that black area is also visible but this area but the hairs are also visible. So it's like that. Tried to do it slowly. And now here the eyebrows part, the ears are different. It's like, Oh, angle, at an angle it is swinging. So like we do it in the paintings, like in flower painting and all that. You have to move your brush. Now, you can see I'm just mixing very little amount of color because there are variations in colors. So don't mix too much color on your palette. Mix it little by little and try to do it. And whenever you're creating such lines, make sure that your color is milky. Color should not be taken. Otherwise these effects will not come, should be milky. Now, these are long hairs which are at, joining the ears. We can see slowly the effect of the fur is coming up as we are moving towards the layering technique and doing more and more first. And how does brush, which I'm using is a rigger brush. You can see the difference between rigger brush and liner brushes. That rigger brushes a little taller in size, the brush size, and the liner brush a little shorter. So when you use rigger brush, you can hold lots of color on your brush. So it's good for doing all these paintings. So now you can see I've added more white, too wet to give little brighter look on top of it. Just moving my brush in the upward direction. And very light pressure. You don't have to press your brush very hard, very light pressure. You have to put on your brush to give this effect. Now, let's do the ear part. So this area is quite bright, so I'm just adding more lines, just going down diagonally. Adding more white to it because I wanted to more brightness to it. And I'm just first outlining it and adding more layers on top of it. So now you can see I'm just giving shape to the ears also because when I was doing the background painting, it got to stop. So I'm just trying to give a shape to it in taking these lighter color and just adding to the part which is below this year Part, just adding more hairs, more outlining this N part 11. Fur Detailing Part Four: So continuing further on that, I'm using the lighter color and just adding some more lines near the ear part. So these are small hairs. So the bigger hairs are at the iPad and rest are almost small hairs only. So I'm just filling the ear Part first. You can see just I'm making it the lines, very small, small lines. And you have to also do the same and make sure that the color is let milky fluid. It should not be very thick color, otherwise you will not be able to draw nice fine lines. Now I'm just taking nipples, more yellow, more water and little bit more of white to give little more lighter color to it. And I'm just making these bigger hairs, which are also coming out of the ears. Adding more white to it. Making the hairs which are coming out of the ear pods, especially the inner part. You can see how the hairs are coming from inside ear and which are also just adding little more hairs on top of diesease so that they mix together and overlap one another. So you can see the hairs are in different directions. You have to take care of each and every hair. This hair is going. And now this part, it's bit darker in color. I'm just blocking it with dark color and little bit light outline to it. Now taking this bond Dumbo and just filling it with darker color. This part is done. Now again, taking the lighter color, mixing little bit of this yellow deep, and again adding some more hairs on the cheek side. So this is the cheek side. You I'm just adding the hairs. If you feel that you're Brushes becoming sticky and all the colors has been staked on your brush. What do you have to do is you just wash off your brush and then use a fresh brush. So it happens that when we create these lines are, most of the time the brush dries and the colors ticks on the brush. So you have to take care of that. Whenever there is. Your brush feels sticky, it's getting dried and you have to wash off your brush completely and then use fresh color. And to make sure that your color is wet, just sprinkle some water on your colors so that it becomes wet. I'm just adding the hairs on this darker part. You can see slowly, slowly this effect of hair and look off. The cat is coming up to full of heads and 40 hairs. You can see in animals. So slowly, slowly we are coming to it. Now I'm just mixing a little darker color and also adding some dark hairs below. Now my brush has become stickies. I'll just wash it off. And then again, I will take the color, the lighter part, and you will do the lighter part, which is in-between those darker part. So very carefully, I'm just moving towards the area which is the side of the cheek. You can see when you were doing on dark color, the lighter color is more visible. So that's why we use a darker color first and then we move on doing the layering of lighter and lighter and lighter colors. So like this, we do the fur painting. Just have to make sure that where the horse Here's our moving where the fours are coming from, which directions we just, you have to take care of that when you are doing some realistic painting. Otherwise, the hair technique is same for all. Which color to use, which composition to use that you need practice. The more you will practice the color compositions, the more you will get ideal which color to use. Now here this is the lighter parts where I'm just adding the slider, which makes Naples yellow and white to it. And I'm just adding this has below that area which is the joy area and the mustache area. So just adding small, small hairs below. Also taking these hairs to the upper level and mixing it with this darker part. Now here I'm doing the layering technique to first Eye put the background as dark, then again the lighter color than more lighter color. So here we are doing so much layering of the colors you can see you. So it will look that there is a mixture of light, dark, and the lightest colors. So I'm just adding more and more lines. Now you can see the lines are curved lines because the phases COPD, so the lines are also moving like that. So you have to make sure that the lines have to be in the direction where the hair is. Whenever you are taking any Portrait Painting, make, take high-quality pixel image. Then only you will be able to see all the hair parts. Just adding more lighter hairs. And first little outlining it with white color. So that becomes more bright. Adding more hairs towards the nose part and this area as the brightest. Now again, adding little bit more hairs towards the spot. Near the nose, the hairs are quite bright. Now we will add the heirs to the jaw line. First, I'm just outlining it. And then we'll create all these is our below. Now these are in one line actually. Just I'm trying to create There's below first to the jaw line. Very small, small hairs are these. Now does add beauty and outline to this area. Adding more small, small hairs to the upper part 12. Fur Detailing Part Five: So now let's continue with adding more for details toward this down Part. I'm just filling it up. With this light color hair. We can see the hairs are moving as the direction of this joy is moving. So you have to also create the lines as a Joy's little Islam's two lines will be also little slant. Now filling this entire area with the lines. So now let's take a darker color that is born Dumbo. And All my black has finished. I'll just take little bit black and then we'll start with the darker color painting. So just adding little black to it. And we'll mix little black, very little amount of black you have to mix. Don't have to mix too much amount of black. And just adding some black details on these lines, giving more highlight to these lines. So some lines which I'm adding towards this darker part Also because this area is little dark as compared to the others. Also adding some more darker details on top to give a shape to it. Like it is a curvy shape of dark color. Now again, this lighter color, just mixing the lighter color and just adding some more light details nodes, little more light actually. And just adding these light color to this part. Well, you can see this disease, the third layering, which I'm doing on top of it. In these cases, a layering plays a very important role because it adds thickness and beauty to differ. Actually, the more you will Layer your furthermore, it adds beauty to your Painting. Uh, take breaks if you're getting tired doing the thing. You always should take breaks when you are doing these types of painting because sometimes what happens, we get bored doing the same thing, same thing. So take breaks and do have tea, coffee, whatever you want, and then start with it. And see there are two dark lines which I have promptly made it too visible. So now, let's add more details. Now the upper part is left though, Lear part the, which we will turn it and then we will do it because it is difficult to do that part. I will just done the painting towards my side and then I will create the force. But first let's add more fur to the, this area, this head area, giving more depth to the force. Actually. You can see I'm layering the textures one on the other, another, making little more bigger lines. Also outlining this year with bright color, adding little more white to it. And outlining the outer part of the ear. So whenever we do these types of painting, it is required, just compulsory to take breaks and please take breaks when you are doing such guide of realistic painting. Don't make it a habit to finish in one go because these paintings cannot be finished in one go. Now this part, I'll just turn the painting towards myself so that I can easily draw the lines because it's really difficult to draw the lines on the other sides. I hope you are enjoying this painting. And I really enjoyed doing this painting. I hope you guys are also enjoying it. The lines, I'm just trying to create it. The hairs which are coming out. Now. Again, taking this color and just outlining this pod which is above the eye. Gradually via proceeding towards the painting, we are almost done with the face painting. Just few little details are left off the ears and the left part. Otherwise we're almost done with the hair part. Now I'm adding this lighter color. As you can see, the below part. Just making normal, bigger lines. These are all hairs which are below does neck part. You can see throughout, I'm using the same brush, just two or three Brushes we have Used to this, to the, to do this entire painting actually. So you don't have to worry about the Brushes Also, we only need to do three Brushes to complete this painting. Mostly fine liner brushes. Now first-time creating the lighter colors. Then we'll do the darker color. So all these things will change. Now I'm adding little darker variations of HER2 towards this. And I will also mix little bit of deep yellow to it. And just making bigger hairs because this side is the darker parts. So I'm adding the darker is. Now, as we move towards the lighter part, We am adding little more lighter colors with just white color. Have just taken take roll white and I'm just trying to add little hairs of white to it to give variations to differ. So you can see there are lots of variations in hair color Also. There are dark colors, light colors and super light colors. So all these layering helps to create different varieties of colors. On the far, actually, I am darkening this area which is the jaw line with white because I wanted to be very prominent. Just adding more of white towards this side. Again, adding more white towards the lower part of the hair. Taking yellow and adding more yellow now towards this side, the darker side. Now, just taking the darker color and adding darker lines below the lighter one so that it gives a contrast between the two fours. So they are layers of force actually. So there will be dark, light, dark light fur is like this. So you can see I'm adding the darker colors below. So first I'll do all the darker part first and just adding more darker towards the jaw line. So now we'll take again this darker color and we'll start adding more hairs towards the side, which is the darker part. Just adding few more darker lines below the lighter lines and overlapping some of the lighter lines with darker lines. Now let's take the lighter color and just add few more layers. 2d, some lines which are bigger, some small lines. Now I'm adding the lines below the darker ones. This is how we need to go towards this layering of first. That's why does caching is very important when we're doing this type of painting. Because in sketching is we draw where the floor should be, where the lines should be, where the darker lines should be. So it's very important to draw each and every details in the beginning. So adding more white can see how nice the farmers are looking when we adding the contrast between the two 13. Final Fur Detailing: Now let's continue with small for Detailing. So I'm just creating darker shade and just trying to cover these areas with darker values. Just creating lines along with the fur details where I put the darker color there only am just trying to create the lines. So try to make sure that the lines are very close to each other. Don't put too much gap in-between the lines, otherwise it will not look appropriate. So try to keep it very close to one another and take colors, little color one at a time and tried to do the lining very close to one another. Don't press your brush, just use the upper tip of your brush and try to create the details. So same thing we have to repeat on the entire Bellow area, which is the body part. We have to cover this entire area with dissimilar hairs, which we have done on the upper part. So do it slowly take your own time and make sure that your color is Fluor, then only you will be able to create fine lines. So when I started doing paintings, I also used to get very eager to finish the work. I also wanted to finish the wagon just no time. So most of the time what happened is that my paintings get ruined and I was not happy. I was frustrated. Slowly, I realized that you have to give time to your painting when you are doing such type of painting, tried to focus on each and every details which you are doing, where to put the brighter colors, where to put the darker colors. All these details you have to take care when you are doing such type of paintings. So try take your own time and do it on your own pace. No need to be in a hurry, no need to be in your own speed. Don't you don't have to compare or you don't have to be in a race. You just go with the flow and just enjoy the process of this entire thing. And so gradually you will cope up with the patient's level also and the discipline also. So actually it requires lots of patients when we do these hearings because this is just a constant work which we are doing that is the lines, lines, lines. And sometimes we get frustrated by doing so much lines and you want to finish it like in just half an hour. So don't do that. Take breaks. Take enough breaks take or if you don't want to paint, just leave it, do it after some time, then start with that. So take your own time. That's what I'm saying. Now you can see I'm adding more lighter details over here. Del orangey shade towards. Now, let's do the hairs. Adding more layers to this. Some more orangey shade to that. Some gray mesh, some orange, some white. So there's How far as the mixture of different colors. Take little, little color and start creating the lines. Just to enjoy the process. While doing this, listen to music, listen to some motivational quote and try to do this along with it. And I'm sure you will enjoy doing the whole painting and the results you are seeing. You can see the phase, it's already done and just the body part is left and we're almost done with the painting. So already it is looking very gorgeous. And I really loved doing this painting because I have done first-time Cat Painting. I've never done kept painting before. I have done portrait, animal Portrait Painting, but I've never done Cat Painting. I really enjoyed it. So I hope you guys will also enjoy as much I did it. That's why I wanted to share this whole tutorial with you guys because I really enjoyed these paintings, especially the animal Portrait Painting and bold painting. I really love to do that. So I wanted to share this technique with you. So I hope you will enjoy it. Now you can see I'm adding the lighter Values toward so there is a dark, mid dark, and then light and then light. So there are various values which are being added to these fur painting you can see now to distinguish between the four, you can see the darker color is there, which distinguishes between the force actually the layers of first which are there. If you will not add that darker part, it will not distinguish and all will look when one shade. So that's why this dark color distinguishes the flower layers. Actually. Let's start with the next layer. So same thing I'm doing. I'm just like taking care that the part which is behind each little dark. So I'm keeping it a little darker value not very light, because that area is little dark. Create more darkness will do the glazing part also. So I'm trying to keep it not light, little light only not too much light should be there. Whenever. You also do these paintings. Do it with your own time, with your own pace. Take your own time and do it very casually, very lightly, and don't be in a hurry. Now you can see here, I have just put the darker values because this area is quite dark. So I've just tried to put a little darker values there by adding black mood to it. Well, you can see the fireplace a very important role and the painting composition, which color composition you have to use also plays a very important role. Just enjoy the process of this Detailing. If you have any doubts, any issues, any queries, you can always ask me in the comments section or you can also ask me, you can DM me on my Instagram, that is mohini Art Gallery. There also you can ask me any questions. Whatever you have, either it does colors, Brushes, brand, anything, whatever you want. You can ask. Now I'm adding the lighter colors. See how the layers are coming when we are doing the layering of colors of darker, lighter values. There's so many layers, awful fire, which you can see. One on the Arnaldo 14. Second Layer Fur Detailing: So now you can see I've just taken a fresh pallet and one color which I have added is that all same colors, just one color that is cadmium yellow, which I've added. So let's start with it now, just mixing. So we'll do more of layering. Just taking this cadmium yellow deep, then this is cadmium yellow. Now if you don't have cadmium yellow deep, you can take cadmium orange. Now a little bit of burnt umber. Mixing both the colors and little bit of more of cadmium yellow and white. Mixing all the colors together. You can mix these colors with palatal. So if you want, I prefer mixing it with this brush. So I'm just trying to mix it with this brush only. You can mix it with palette as well. So it is like orangey shade color, orangey brownish shade calorimeters. Now I'm just trying to do more layering offers on the top of the head. This is like TO colors, so I'm adding more Live white to it to become more vibrant. Actually, just adding a bit of more or less. Now you can see my colors a little milky. So make sure that your color colors milky then only you will be able to create the lines. Now as I said earlier, that the more you do layering, the more it looks realistic. So that's why layering is important. Now you can see I'm just adding more and more layers to it. This area will become more bright and more. You can see more orangey shade. So I'm just repeating the same thing, but just I'm adding more orangey shade color to it because this era is very bright and very orangey. It's like, Oh, I'm just adding more and more layers to it. Just small, small lines on top of it. Some diagonal lines. So the more lines and layers you draw, the more value it gets to the painting. Actually. Also taking these lines towards the nose Part. Now adding little more lines to the corners. Just adding small, small very close to each other. The lines are actually now taking yellow, more yellow, and that is Naples yellow. And mixing board the colors. And just taking this fluid color and adding to this lighter area. Just adding more lines to these lighter part. Just be careful and draw the lines very carefully. All this area which is close to the I is a very light in color. So I'm just adding more of white and creating lines Adding more light color on top of the wrinkles. Also, I've extended the ring, goes towards the end. More Highlights to this area which is light and color. So just I'm giving the finished look to the painting. And after that will not do the layering. So this is the last layering which we are doing on the face and then we are done with the layering. You can see the first we did is the background, then we did the second Layer, third layer, and then this is the fault Layer. So there are so many layers of colors are there on top of each other, which gives a very fine and fluffy look to the portrait. Actually. Know the node spot. The final Detailing as must. If you are doing this painting, you can leave it like that. The painting which we have done earlier, it's finished. It's finished only. But if you want to give it a little more realistic thing to it, to have to add more and more layers to it. So this cadmium yellow deep plays a very important role for doing this pair painting. That is, there are two yellows. One is permanent yellow deep and one is cadmium yellow. So permanent yellow deep is little orange shade. And if you're not having that permanent yellow deep, you can use cadmium orange for this. Now, I'm rotating the image and we'll do this side of the painting because it is difficult to do the painting from top of it because we want the hairs to flow this side. So I want it to be reflow. So that's why I've just done the painting and I'm just blocking, I'm just creating the hairs which also coming outside the body and the air. So similarly I will do the ears also will do a little fur Detailing is on the ears. I can see via adding little lighter shade also do it. Now again, the lighter values to the ears. Some hairs which are coming out of the ear. Also do the background. The lines, the jar in different directions. And also outlining it very carefully, especially the tip of the ears. Now again, taking that orangey shade and just outlining the other part and adding more hairs do it. Now some lighter hairs which are coming below the eyes, but just making it more lines with lighter color. Now you can see the beauty of this. I would just solve vibrant and so colorful. Now just keep it straight and see how it looks 15. Second Layer Fur Detailing Part Two: So let's start with for the Detailing. So you can see I've just taken the lighter color, adding more white to it, to Naples yellow. And just trying to highlight the lighter area. Just adding more layers to that lighter Part. Adding more lines to the same area which is in lighter value. So as I said earlier, that more you do layering and modulus, the colors, the more realistic fur looks. So these things take time, but the end result is very good. So you can see I'm just layering it again with the same light color layering the part which is the iPad, which is close to the hypothesis, quite bright and shiny. So I'm just trying to give it a more nice, hairy look. Also, I will try to do the part which is below the eyebrow, eyelashes, below the eyelashes. This is quite bright. I will just add more bright values to it, first outlining and then creating small, small hairs to it. So very small, fine line here is I'm trying to draw. I'm just rotating it again. Straight. And now again I will add more layers to this nose Part. Just adding the more heads to the snows Part straight lines. Now taking this black and Orangi shade, little darkest value and covering that darker part. But just beside the eye. Now first Eye, which we did on this part, is also quite dark, so I'm just adding more darkness to it. Just take your time and do it slowly. And just adding more orangey shade the eyes, which is touching the eye, actually. Just adding more hairs. See in most of the time we are repeating the same process, but only matters is how much layering you do. The more you learn the colors, one on the another side, and especially which color to use where it's very important. And how much to layer two layer that is also very important. And this will only come when you will practice a lot, these types of paintings, you will gradually come to know where to apply. Which color, which color is good there, which color composition you shouldn't mix with that. This color should look similar to that. So all these comes with experience and with practice. You cannot do it in one go. You cannot learn it in one day. So it takes time. So you have to have patients and believe in you that yes. I'll do practice it and I'll do it. Even if you have tried this painting that is more than enough for you. Even if the result is not same, it's perfectly fine. This video will be always there. You can watch it anytime, and you can practice it. Now you can see I'm just adding this white color to the area where the most edges. So just adding white layer to it. So now again taking the lighter color and adding more white to it, and again adding more layers to this part, which is beside the nose, as well as the there are hairs below. Just adding more hairs to it. Just taking proper white and adding more white to the area which is the cheek area and the MT area. Adding more longer lines, small hairs to the eyebrows, which is on the top, the lighter values. And whenever you are using these, creating these lines, make sure that your color is fluid. Otherwise you will not be able to create such fine lines. So it should be fluid, should not be too much fluid, but yes, it should be fluid so that you can easily move the colors. If the color is take, you will not be able to move the colors. Just adding more and more lighter color. Here's do it. So gradually we are proceeding towards the final painting and one or two videos are left and we are done with it. Just creating fine lines, very fine lines you have to create when you are doing the lighter color so that it does visible. The hair should be visible. Especially the eyebrows, which are closer to the eyes, are very important how they are going. You can see how I'm doing it. I'm just carving it that will move so that it does more Garvey like that. You have to do it. Especially the iPod is very important when you are doing the painting. Now again, I'm using this darker color, this orangey shade color. And again, little wide I'm adding to it. And again, I'm trying to create more lines. Now you can see the variations from light to dark and dark. So this is how the variation should go. Do it slowly and carefully where to put which color composition. So towards the eyes, I'm just adding more light colors. So now little more hairs towards the ear pods. Some of the hairs are coming out of the ear also, which is very thin lines. You have to create very thin lines. Try to use to by zero or three by zero size rigger brush, then only you will be able to create such fine lines. If you don't have these two sizes or brush, you can always use a size zero brush. And little more highlight I'm giving to this area little more brightness. And just outlining it led to more lines. Now again, if the color is take annual Brushes ticky, just wash it off and then use your fresh brush. Don't use it if it is sticky, otherwise those fine lines will not come up. These are quite light colors which are coming out. Also outlining the ears so that it is properly visible. Now again, taking that orangey shade color and adding more force towards this side, outlining the outer ear Part. Minute, minute details are left. And we can see we have done so many layers of painting on this, their layers and layers of painting which is done on this. Now let's take again this orange shade color and little white mix and adding more details on top. So let will more hairs on the side, GQ, more lighter colors to give a proper shape to the face. And it will more shape to the sides and the nose spot. So just outlining the spot which has to be a little bit visible so that this area is the round shapes who I'm making it more light by adding white to it. Just adding small, small lines 16. Second Layer Fur Detailing Part Three: So let's add little more hairs towards this neck part. So just adding more of this lighter shade of orangey shade, you can say not the darkest one, the middle one. Here you can see we have used three different shades. The lightest, then the light and the dark is to these types of shades we're using here for doing the four paintings. So this is the mid-level, which is little orangey brown Asian shade, which I'm just blocking in some area. This is the final Fur Detailing which we are doing and we'll be done with the painting. So few that jobs are there, which I'm doing some areas, I'm making it a little light. Some area I'm adding this orangey shared texture so that it looks so, even. So whenever you are doing this painting, just wait and said, if you how it does looking and you can add the details and the extra tough jobs where you want to be. So when you setbacks and sit back and see where it should be more light, where it should be more, has more brightness. Then you'll be able to see the variations in colors. And you'll be able to add the color compositions correctly. Just the final dot jobs I'm adding towards this neck portion. Just enjoy the process and flow off the painting. Now, this cat is already looking so gorgeous and so vibrant that you feel like UK, it's almost done. So yes, it's almost done, but just few highlights, I'm adding it and I will not be overdoing it. Just view Highlights where there are light colors are there. So just few Highlights and we're done with the painting. More hairs towards this beard portion. All whites here and they're more whites. The below are wrinkled region. You can see mostly the whites, which I'm adding is towards the one side only not the other side, because that side is quite dark. So I'll keep avoiding to use little light color that especially with white color that side. So the mostly the white color is this side. Just adding fuel, darker textures, also, adding little more hairs on top, little more lighter hairs on the cheek side. So we are almost done with the Herring bodies. Just a few more to go. See this for Detailing is never ending process and you have to stop somewhere. So the more you watch the painting, the more you want to do the layering. So you have to decide when to stop and where to stop it. So I'm just adding few more of the hairs and where it does Required. Just adding more and more lighter his little outline to the heel pod and little hairs to the ear Part, not a more hairs to the neck bought neck region, though darker hairs to the batches with their two patches there. The cheek region. So yes. Small, small details which are left. So this is quite dark areas. I'm just making it a little dark 17. Final Detailing: So now let's do the final part of the painting that is dynodes, which is very important now after going Alizarin crimson over here. And I'm adding little of cadmium yellow and Alizarin mix, so making it little pink and I'm just covering it, the nose part first. So just making and taking more of alizarin and just outlining it. Now taking little black in it and outlining the one which is their outlining the inside part. Just making it little more darker and shade. Also outlining the other nodes Part. And then taking the white color and creating some texture, some dots on the top of it. So little dots and hairs on top of it. Now taking this white and alizarin and little black and just making little more dots on top of it. Taking white and creating little more Highlights. Taking therein crimson, black and just making little The nosier a little more dark. Now taking little white and yellow and highlighting the spot more with light color. Highlighting the eyebrows as well. Not Dunmore. Very small and minute details are left. And little bit more of this Alizarin cadmium. So yes, should just adding little bit off the colors and just mixing it to make it little more pinkish shade and just covering this nose Part. Very fine details which are left. Just dots are taking white color and creating the most, most damage. So very thin liquid color. And my rigger brush, I'll be creating the lines, some curvy lines. So you're just wanting is important that you have to take very thin liquid colored as wise. Otherwise you'll not be able to create such fine lines. The color has to be in fluid form. Not so much tin, not so much tickets should be in fluid form. To create a nice straight line. And scurvy line. Just use the tip of your brush and just go in one, go. Some small, some big lines which add curvy lines actually Again, see there in different directions, one and top one, bottom one in-between. So different directions. And now the other side, I'm just rotating my canvas towards me and I'll just draw fine lines. What's this site also? So by any chance of the lines are not straight, you just need to cover it with the same background color and redo it again. So this is how you can overdo it. But whenever you are doing it overdoing, it makes sure that the background color has been dried up. Then only you do the what we're doing part. You can adding nine days. Most data's really looking very beautiful and bright. Now, adding little black color and just adding very thin color actually, with my round brush, you can see how much tinnitus, lots of water is there and that, and just glazing it over here, I'm using the glazing technique to make it this part little more dark. I'm just adding this color, one layer of color. When you add this tin colored, though below, lines are visible, but this color makes it a little more faded. So this is how you can do the darker part, just adding more glazing to it to make it more dark. So I hope you guys enjoyed this painting and do share your project works and do tag me on Instagram.

So this area as I have done, I've done the glazing, so it is little dark than the one which is in the front. So Finally, this painting is done. And 18. Varnish And Framing: Now, to protect this painting, we will be one hashing this whole painting. So the varnish which I'm using here is Liquitex varnish, it ounce. So this one shall be using. This is a ballot in which I'll take out the varnish and the brush. Let's start with the varnish. So I'm just taking little bit of varnish. You can see it is a little milky form, but when you will, when it will dry, it will be perfectly transparent, so no need to worry about that. So whenever you applying one is don't repeat it. Just apply one go and it's fine. If you will repeat, it happens that sometimes the varnish gets dried off and there will be patches around, so don't redo it if it is wet. So this is the synthetic brush which I mostly use for doing varnish. I don't use my Painting Brushes for varnishing because sometimes what happens is varnish dries and your brush gets stammered damage. So it's better to use another brush for varnish. Now let's do the framing now this is the MDF board cut out its little bigger size than the canvas which I have used. It's around 11 " and this is canvas is off 10 " with a little bigger in size. This I will be using for framing it. So before framing it first, I will paint this with white color. And using spawns, I will just do the dabbing technique, and I will just paint these borders first. Let's take out the white paint and just put it around everywhere. You can see I've put lots of paints on this border. And now with the sponge, I will just dab, dab, dab and completely filled this border area. So just enjoy simple process of painting that sponge. After this painting is done, this border painting, I will also paint the sides and then I will leave it for too dry. So it takes almost one out to dry because it is quite thick paint, it will take quite an odd to dry it out. Once this is dry, we will varnish this border part and the sides of it. So now you can see it has perfectly dried up. And now we will just varnish this whole border area and the sides of the board using same brush and the varnish I'll just apply to these All border part. Varnish also protects the borders and give it gives a little shine to this A-frame area. So it looks nice when you do the varnishing. And now I will put the fabric oil gum, whichever gum you have, whichever of the glue, whichever you have it, just very powerful, you have to use that. And this is a fair we call MR. which I'm using here and I will pour it on this middle area, which is a circular path. And then I will place the entire painting. You can see just pouring a thick amount of this glue all around it. With my palette. I will just try to spread these this thing evenly. And after that, I will place the paint painting on top of it. And I'll put some heavy things on top of it for few hours. And I will leave it for fewer so that when it dries, it's completely sticks to it. You can see, I've just spread it out. So now you can gently place your painting on top of it and put some weight on it so that it completely presses and it is fixed. Your painting is complete. Rewrite it with framed as well as varnish and ready to gift to someone you love. So thank you for watching and have a good day.
