Thank you very much for the tutorial! I was commissioned to paint two dogs and I have never done it before. He was very confused when it came to painting his eyes but thanks to you, they turned out very well!
This makes me so happy!! I’m thrilled it came out well for you. I’m hoping to make an updated video on this soon. Thanks for watching! Happy painting 🥰
I am working in acrylics doing my first Labrador painting. I am primarily a watercolorist but acrylics seemed best for a black dog and the many shades. My question is do you use a medium with acrylics to thin them so they flow better off your brush or just water?
Lysa, I'm so sorry to bug you about this, but can you tell me which acrylic paint colors you used? You stated the colors you used for the black and your reflection. Blue was smart when you think about hidden veins. But what colors is the eye itself? And is the lower reflection ochre?
Hi Jennifer, you’re not bugging me! I don’t remember the exact colors I used as it was so long ago but I’ll copy and paste my response from a similar question below. I want to do an updated video of this with more detailed instructions soon. Here’s what I said to another viewer. Thanks for watching! The colors I use change depending on my reference photo. But my most used colors are burnt umber, ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, cerulean blue, cadmium yellow medium, and titanium white. In this particular painting I also used a tiny bit of alizarin crimson mixed in with the blue and white to paint the sclera, but normally the whites of the eyes on dogs aren’t visible, especially from a distance. Also I’m pretty sure the lower reflection is cadmium yellow. But if you choose not to use cadmium containing paint, hansa yellow or lemon yellow would work as well. I hope this helps!
So very helpful. I am working on a dog "portrait" which I haven't done before. I have a poor photo to work from. I spent so much time focusing on the eye that I completely forgot to paint around the eye before putting in details. This helped me see what's happening around the eye as well as within the eye. Using cerulean is a terrific idea - very few things are pure white. Also, I love the formula to mix black. I will try yours. I usually use ultramarine and burnt sienna or transparent red oxide. Really helpful!! Thank you!!
Dalton Labatte would you like to see that breed in particular or any breed? I'm in the process of filming a huge German shepherd puppy painting at this time. Thanks for watching 😘

Good point! Smaller eyes can be easier or more challenging depending on the quality of your reference photo. I shall try to include covering that in one of my upcoming videos. Thanks for watching ❤
Barbara thanks for the feedback! I’m always afraid people will get bored with tutorials in real time. However, I’m working on putting together a real time dog eye tutorial for those of you who are interested. Thank you for watching🙏🏼

Anyone can do a giant eye, what about smaller ones?
Good point! Smaller eyes can be easier or more challenging depending on the quality of your reference photo. I shall try to include covering that in one of my upcoming videos. Thanks for watching ❤
