PHOTO TO PAINTING CUSTOM GERMAN SHEPHERD PET PORTRAIT

Meet Bear the GORGEOUS German Shepherd! I had a blast painting this 16x20 custom acrylic on stretched canvas. Bear's owner Jeff is an excellent photographer so his reference photo was stunning!

​3 TIPS I do when painting a pet portrait :

  1. Start with a Cadmium Red Light as a undercoat

  2. Use my ipad to blow up details of the photo, especially the eyes.

  3. Use a color wheel to determine my color pallet

Below is a quick time lapse video if you would like to see my process in action :-)
Happy Painting!
