I love that you always use phrases like "what I'm trying to get better at" because even though your artwork is fabulous, you always strive to be better. It keeps me reminded that the best can get better and it's good to go outside your comfort zone.
It helps to KNOW the ANATOMY of a wolf verses a DOG, Study, learn anatomy of the wild life you plant to paint and not just think using from a photo, helps. I see too many people who have not observed enough, make this mistake. Knowing, the anatomy , helps to know which direction the fur falls over bone and the muscles, Sometimes Museums will let people see their books of reference when they create displays . Or if you know a Taxidermist.
I especially appreciate the suggestion of layering the background. I tend not to give my painting enough layers and I can see now how very beneficial adding layers can be.
I am amazed by this painting. I learned something new, a few things new. The glazing part was new to me and the background doing so many layers was something new also. What I don’t get is how you get the background from mucking up the wolf
Again awesome! When doing glazing with acrylics, do you just thin with water Only or with adding using glazing medium? If not using glazing medium, why not? I thought it supposed to be better than water only.
Pretty much, when I use techniques like this that involve lots of layers acrylics are my go to. If I’m doing a painting in only 1 or two layers I’ll do a base in acrylics then oils over the top
Hey how long does it take for you to typically make one of your wildlife panitings? i chose art as my school electives and for one of my artworks i wnana do a realistic wolf. or a lion :/ but yeah
Hi, it’s me again can I ask what your timescale was to make this one? also I’m interested to know what is your method for creating your reference will it be finding pre-existing photography or using AI and digital methods for creating your references because of the new technology? I understand that this video is about not using one specific reference, but that question sort of refers to your other paintings. I really love realism paining, very relaxing and I’ve been enjoying your videos are very much.
I think it was between 4-6 hours, there’s a real time tutorial for this one on my patreon. I think Ai is here we may as well use it. I like to think of it as a way to brainstorm compositions or help with things like lighting rather than generating an exact reference. Then use your knowledge and abilities to improve on and create something brand new 😁 most of the time for my more photo realistic work I am working from a direct reference. But with things like this it’s just years of practice and studying different photos to understand the anatomy of the subject I am trying to paint
im trying to paint fur like you...im getting better and better but i use oil... maybe in 10 years ill be as good as you!! lol haha. thank you mann!!!!!
Definitely although you might have to wait for each layer to dry. This video shows how I’d do something similar to this in oils in one sitting ruclips.net/video/hqGcXFxpRE4/видео.html&feature=shareb
Yea they can, a lot of my work can be purchased through my website studiowildlife.com. This piece isn’t up yet but you can contact me directly through my website if you’d like more info about it

I’ve been doing this method since childhood ❤ always studying the subject but rendering my own compositions and poses
Eyes of your subjects are incredible...its brings life.. and real beauty of every animal you paint.
I love seeing your progression. It really shows how acrylics can be used layer after layer! Thank you for your time!
Thank you very much! hope you are finding my videos helpful 😁

Great advice. Thank you. 😊
I love the softness you achieve

absolutely loved watching this painting coming together! thank you for sharing your skill, tips and advice
Like the changes you made to the fur on the neck. Such a beautiful wolf painting. Thanks for sharing all your tips & techniques.
Thank you it definitely needed it! Hope you are finding the videos useful ! 😁
Your videos have so much quality that I wish you more followers Daniel.👍🏼
Thank you as always🔥
Amazing video, thank you for uploading
very good work with interesting build up of drawing forms and transition to volume with layers of color.
Amazing work. Your art is an inspiration.
Stunning!
Amazing. Great advice
I LOVE this. You make it look so easy!
so beautiful.. love it
This is a very good video! Also I very much agree with what you said about the eye being one of the most important parts of the painting 👍
Thank you! 😁
Thank you. Beautiful idea! ❤
Fantastic!! ❤
❤ bellísimaaaaa obra
Your latest work is incredible, wonderful art 😍
I am amazed by this painting. I learned something new, a few things new. The glazing part was new to me and the background doing so many layers was something new also. What I don’t get is how you get the background from mucking up the wolf
Soy nuevo apenas veo tú canal y en lo poquito que he visto me a ayudado a aclarar muchas dudas, gracias por compartir tú conocimiento
Great work!!
Beautiful work ❤
Have you tried painting prehistoric mammals? That's a good method of getting away from photo reference... as there isn't any!
I'm practicing using a dagger brush for fur.
Amazing 🎉
Superb
simplismente espetacular!!!
Again awesome! When doing glazing with acrylics, do you just thin with water Only or with adding using glazing medium? If not using glazing medium, why not? I thought it supposed to be better than water only.
How much water/fluid medium do you use so each layer doesn't completely overwhelm the rest?
Is the reason you use acrylics instead of oil is for the quick drying time?
Pretty much, when I use techniques like this that involve lots of layers acrylics are my go to. If I’m doing a painting in only 1 or two layers I’ll do a base in acrylics then oils over the top
How do you glaze what products are used?????
Hey how long does it take for you to typically make one of your wildlife panitings? i chose art as my school electives and for one of my artworks i wnana do a realistic wolf. or a lion :/ but yeah
I love your videos. What do you personally think of painting by numbers?
I wish if I can paint like you😢
Do you prefer acrylic or oil paint ? It's beautiful !
Thank you! I prefer acrylic dye to the faster drying time but I do enjoy working in oils too
Preferred the first position of the wolf head personally. Maybe just me.
Very impressive work, how long did this take to complete and how many hours do you think you spent on it?
Thank you, I would say this one took around 4-6 hours. Because I was filming for my patreon page the process takes a bit longer
@@StudioWildlife cool thanks 👍

@@StudioWildlife thats great thank you so much for your response :)

Keep it up! you can use a lot of the techniques I use with oils too, you just need to wait longer for each layer to dry! 😂
Will this work with oils ?
Definitely although you might have to wait for each layer to dry. This video shows how I’d do something similar to this in oils in one sitting

what brushes do you use? beautiful painting
Thank you! Here’s a video of my favourite brushes to use ruclips.net/video/LulcufMeULw/видео.html
😮😮😮😮😮
😍
Can these pictures be purchased?
Yea they can, a lot of my work can be purchased through my website studiowildlife.com. This piece isn’t up yet but you can contact me directly through my website if you’d like more info about it
I’m a photographer just learning how to paint would you consider a photo of mine to teach how to paint.
@5:39 the wolf temporarily looks the other direction. Must be 2 different versions of the same painting
I just flipped the video to keep you on your toes 😂
Do you have a personal preference of your subject facing either left or right?
Not that I have consciously thought of but thinking back to previous paintings I do a lot facing towards the left! 😁
I only paint,with a feeling...and it works without reference..
At the chance of sounding stupid ...how do I join your patreon
Here’s a link to it! the tiger tier has all of the videos :)
