Painting a REALISTIC German Shepherd DOG 🐕 with Pastels ▶ Realistic Pet Portrait by Patricia Otero

This is how I paint a realistic German Shepherd with black shiny fur, and a realistic Kelpie with brown fur using soft pastels, pastel sponges and pastel pencils on Pastelmat Board.
These are Miss Bossie and Jack, a Black German Shepherd and a Kelpie. This was a commission for one of my clients in Australia 🇦🇺 of her two dogs. The size of the portrait is 40x60cm and it was done using the pastel technique on Pastelmat Board (Clairefontaine). This portrait was recorded throughout several weeks, these are just short snippets of the whole process. I hope you enjoy watching me paint as much as I enjoyed creating this Artwork.
(For those asking why I have the same clothes throughout the video, I use painting clothes, just like some people wear a uniform for work, I have my uniform for painting. It usually consists on an apron, black clothes and/or jeans.)
If you’re interested in learning the techniques and skills I’ve shown in this video I have an online course available that teaches you step by step how to create a realistic animal portrait.

[@ShaneCasserly]

im curious how you get the white pencil to go over such dark values, I have tried to do this before but never with your amazing results. amazing work

[@PatriciaOteroArt]

With pastels you can achieve this 🥰

[@alphat4551]

Beautiful work! Do you use working fixative spray?

[@PatriciaOteroArt]

Thank you very much! ☺️ I don't use fixative! I work with Pastelmat Board surface and it’s a surface that doesn’t need fixative.

@@PatriciaOteroArt muchas gracias por su respuesta, soy un hombre de 67 años, me encantaría hacer el curso, pero desafortunadamente no alcanzo a tener el valor total, siempre he deseado pintar mascotas, Dios te acompañe y le de salud y vida para que sigas disfrutando de tu arte.
