I love foxes. They’re so beautiful. You really captured the colors amazingly. You talked about your frustration in the beginning, but honestly, I could see the potential in your painting, right from the beginning stages. Absolutely gorgeous eyes! “Timid” turned out very pretty ❤
I've been struggling to finish a fox that I started in an art class. Your video is brilliant! It took me so long just to do one ear. Now I can see where I was going wrong. This is the first video of yours I've seen. I loved it. Thank you
I am so glad to hear that! :) Thank-you so much for the kind words, and taking time to leave some feedback! ♥ I wish you the best of luck on your fox piece! You got this! Cheers!
Beautiful painting as always! I also find the eyes the most important part in a portrait. When the eyes are well done, it looks like the animal is alive! 🥰
Ugh, just so talented. I absolutely love these videos in addition to the streams, just so inspiring to watch. Also, with the transparency of some colors, you can look up the opacity of every pigment online. So when I am buying paint, I generally make sure my main colors are opaque.
Thank-you so much. 🥺 That means a lot. I’m glad you like my videos and streams! 🥰 & Thank-you for letting me know! That’s not something I ever considered/thought they’d have - so I’ll have to look them up!
Thank-you so much! I’m really glad you liked it, and thank-you for being a part of our Twitch family, and RUclips! ❤️ RIGHT?! That is always my favourite part.
Beautiful work as always! I love the colors of this sweet fox, and those details are stunning. Im a sucker for those eyes and those hair textures ! keep up the great work as always and thank you for giving us these amazing videos and artwork to enjoy time after time
Really lovely work❤️! It really helped to see the full process and it’s actually giving me the push & courage I needed to try and tackle painting fur. Thanks for sharing! 🤗🤗
I am going to paint a fox for my next project. I've always had a soft spot for those fox. I can see though that there is a lot going on with getting the depth right on the fur. I will study this more closely before I dive into it.
I wish you the best of luck with diving into your fox project! :) They are a lot of fun yes, but will take some time to get that fur just right! So many colours and textures. Hope this video helps!
Gorgeous! I'm struggling with foxes right now - cannot get my colors right. Am I missing a listing of the colors you used? That would be SO very helpful! I'm using raw and burnt sienna, orange, van dyke brown, white.....even yellow light - but it's all a mess! If it's listed somewhere I apologize for missing - just point me in the right direction. :) SUPER HELPFUL video!
Hi Laurie! I don't recall if I listed the colours anywhere for this particular piece, however I used: Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, and Cadmium Red. To date this has to be the trickiest colour combination, so I completely understand! Glad you found this video helpful. Cheers! :)
The colour palette for the majority of my paintings is: titanium white, mars black, thalo blue, burnt sienna, burnt umber, cadmium red, and cadmium yellow. :) I hope this helps!
Most of my paintings I will take breaks in-between sessions. Sometimes the breaks are a day or so, others months. I wish I had a good answer for that - other than time, patience, and sometimes the desire to just "get it done" depending on what it is. I've had paintings sit for 6 months before I worked on it again and that happens. I try to just go with my creative flow rather than forcing a painting and becoming burnt out. I hope this helps!
@@cassydrawsDear Cassy, Thank you so much for your reply🙏and sharing your beautiful works! ❤️✨ I wonder if you could make a video on the system you use to get works finished. As I get really frustrated for starting quite a few projects but always seem to have a a difficult time finishing them. I add layers and layers and not satisfied so then put it aside...😔
Hey just found your channel, fantastic work really is good! I just started painting again after a break. I decided to paint my bulldog she's kinda the same colour as this fox, how did you manage to create the orange/ginger? Keep up the great work
Hey Luke! Thank-you for the kind words, and feedback. It means a lot! Welcome back to the world of painting, I hope your bulldog painting goes well. The colour of the fox was a combination of: yellow, red, burnt sienna, white, and in some areas adding burnt umber (brown) to the mix. Depending on the level of shadow or light, I would adjust with brown or white. It is the most difficult colour to mix for me personally, so it took a lot of adjusting and farting around. LOL! I hope this helps.
@@cassydraws thanks for replying, I'll give that a shot tonight. I tried recently and it went from looking like Tigger from Winnie the pooh to a brown/black mess Lol
Cassy I have a question. I am getting ready to begin a pet portrait of a dog who in life had large, pink tumors emerging from the lower lids. I am torn whether or not to include the tumors in the painting, or even a suggestion that they were there as that is how the dog looked in life, but the customer is leaving the decision up to me and doesn't care one way or the other. I'm interested to hear how you would address this issue. Thanks so much!
Hi Robin! :) That certainly is a very tough question, but I am honoured you asked me. Honestly, I love to paint my pet portraits how the client would see their fur-family everyday, scars and bumps included - unless otherwise requested of course. To me that is who they were/are and the most authentic. However, I can understand how this may be traumatic for some folks especially is the pet is deceased and may have been a traumatic passing. I would double check with your client, and show them sketches of with or without and get their approval. I would hate for you to do all of this work, and for them to decide afterwards they wanted/would like it the other way. :) Just my two cents. I hope this helps. Keep me updated!
@@cassydraws I asked the client again and received the same answer..."it's up to you". I opted to paint normal eyes because the painting is small and the tumors were so large they obstructed the features in the eye that give the painting life. I'm justifying this in my head as "there are no tumors in heaven" lol I have finished it and she loves it. Had the anomaly been a scar or bump I definitely would have painted it. I really appreciate your opinion. It was important to me to hear.

Absolutely beautiful, your eyes on the fox are outstanding.
Thank-you so much! :)
WOW! You’re sooo underrated. This painting is beautiful and the detail is amazing.

Michael is absolutely right: those eyes!! I loved watching this come together. You are such an inspiration and I love you so much!!! 🥰
Mac you are too sweet to me. I am so honoured to have your support. ❤️ LOVE YOU LOTS!
Beautiful painting as always! I also find the eyes the most important part in a portrait. When the eyes are well done, it looks like the animal is alive! 🥰
Thankyou so much! ❤️ I completely agree. I find the same thing with the catchlight/reflection too! Until that is done they look so dull.
I tried the yellow orange on the eye and really liked the result!
I am so glad to hear it! :)
Wow! amazing how you get such fine lines 😍
Thank-you so much! ♥

Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow! I love your wonderful work!!
Thank-you so much! I am so glad you do! :)
I always start with the eyes, I find the painting staring at me pushes me on to finish it 😂
😂 I never considered this! Now I have a whole new perspective... and 6 paintings all staring at me. LOL!
Really lovely work❤️! It really helped to see the full process and it’s actually giving me the push & courage I needed to try and tackle painting fur. Thanks for sharing! 🤗🤗
Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback! ❤️ I’m so glad to hear it helped you. You’ve got this. 💪🏼 I hope it goes well for you!
A list of the colours you used would be really helpful. Great painting.
Definitely! I will do my best to implement this moving forward! :) Thanks so much!
@@cassydraws thank you x
I really hope you do more videos you are so good at the voice over and the results are amazing 🤩
Thank-you so much. I really appreciate the valuable feedback, and kind words! 🤍 I plan to do a lot more! 🙏

this looks lovely!!
Thankyou so much! ❤️🥰
What colors did you use to mix these wonderful oranges, browns, creams and greys?
The colour palette for the majority of my paintings is: titanium white, mars black, thalo blue, burnt sienna, burnt umber, cadmium red, and cadmium yellow. :) I hope this helps!
Love this, well done
Thank-you so much! 🥰
So beautiful ❤️
Thank-you! ❤️
Did you paint this entirely in one sitting or did you break it up? If you broke it up how did you find motivation to come back to it?

I love foxes
Me too! They’re so beautiful. ❤️
Beautiful work❤ How long did this piece take to make?
Thank-you so much! :) My paintings take anywhere from 25-50 hours on average, depending on the size and complexity! This guy was around 30. ♥

Thank-you kindly! My paintings take roughly 25-50 hours to complete depending on the size.
@@cassydraws can I use grumbacher academy paint for artist quality work?? I hope they are not student grade paint right??
I am like that with my Fox and it looks kind of ragged. Hoping I can pull it out.

Thank-you so much. I’m so glad you like it! I actually have a cat video coming up in the next couple months! 🥰
I can’t see the video 🤷🏻♀️it’s just a black screen
I can hear it
Just can’t see it idk 🤷🏻♀️ why
I'm sorry about that! I'm not sure why either! :(
You don not show the process of creating the colours
At the time of filming this tutorial I didn’t have another camera to show the process of mixing. Sorry about that!
I love do see you paint
Thank-you so much!
