Hi everyone,

Here is Part 1 of the Vizsla tutorial.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/51301235

In this tutorial I demonstrate my dry palette where I dry the paint out before I use it. I work dry on wet to add a lot of the detail on this painting. I have only started doing this recently and I am finding it a useful way to add detail on wet paper with more control than when I work wet on wet. I use a limited palette of 4 colours to paint this beautiful Vizsla.

The reference photo for this painting was taken by Peter Goblyos from Pixabay. Here is the link if you'd like to download it yourself: https://pixabay.com/photos/dog-animal-portrait-pet-brown-3277416/

I've also put the link on the Supplies List.

I hope you enjoy painting it. 

I have finished voicing over the Shelty tutorial. I need to spend some time checking it. I will post it next month because I don't want to post two dog tutorials in the same month.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Louise

💜🧡

They can't be sold or entered into an art competition. I write on the Supplies Lists where the photos come from. Permission is not given to paint any of my earlier paintings that are not tutorials because some of them are licensed. Also, a few of my earlier paintings were painted from photographs where I sought the permission of the photographer. The photographer gave me permission to use it, not others.

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself.

I can’t believe I have painted my first ever watercolour dog !!! As a beginner I really thought it would turn out rubbish but you are such a good teacher I was able to follow and so pleased with the finished painting ! Loved the dry palette technique ! My husband is well impressed ! Thank you can’t wait for the next challenge !! 🙂

Louise De Masi

Fabulous Maggie and thank you! I'm so pleased. It's wonderful that you had the courage to give it a go.

Vee

This is so, so beautiful!!!!!

Judith McQuoid

Louise, is there a difference between drying your tube paint and using watercolor pans?

Louise De Masi

Hi Judith. That's a good question. I don't use pans and I like to use paint that's freshly squeezed out onto my palette particularly when I'm mixing. I do try to re-use paint that has dried on my palette though - as much as I can. Here's a post I read that might answer your question. Copy and paste this into your browser: https://jswbotanicalart.com/2013/08/pan-vs-tube-watercolors/

Judith McQuoid

That was an interesting article. I use both tube and pan paints. I prefer the ease of mixing from tube paints and find I use them most often. It would be nice to have the same colors in both in order to use them either way, but I find my pockets are not quite that deep.

Charlotte Waymire

You can use pans. Wet your pan and let it sit for a bit as you want it nice and soft. Work up some thick consistency paint and put it on a flat surface (I use a "flower" palette with larger separated wells and that works too). Either let it dry or use a dryer on it gently to speed things up.. proceed from there. The only challenge is getting enough paint out of your pan since it's in a dried state, some brands are more stubborn than others. You don't want to take the paint right out of the pan itself with the dry on wet technique because it's really hard to control, you do ok at first but as the pan gets wet suddenly you wind up with a glob. When it's spread out thin it's easier to get just as much as you need.

Charlotte Waymire

You can make a pan out of your tubes, and then have both whenever you want. You can buy empty pans on Amazon or from your favorite art supply.

Judith McQuoid

You should read the article we were discussing. It says that tubes are not formulated to be dried and re-wet and dried and re-wet, etc.

Charlotte Waymire

You can do as you like however professional artists all over the world put WN tube paint in their palettes to dry and use again.. no different than any other brand. WN is the only paint manufacturer who makes this claim that there is somehow an issue in panning their paints. The only issue I have ever heard of is some pigments being difficult to rewet, for example potters pink or viridian, which is true of those pigments across the board. A drop of glycerine solves that issue. Louise is literally drying them on purpose to use because they are so much easier to work with that way. I have never painted fresh from the tube with any brand including WN. They actually pan better than some other brands including Daniel Smith which shrink terribly.

Louise….Really enjoyed this tutorial and have learnt so much! Trying to pluck up the courage to try these techniques to paint our Doberman ‘Zeva’. 😀🤞🏻

Fiona Liu

I tried three times with this dog, and finally I’m happy with it. Thank you so much, you made painting much less intimidating and I really enjoyed your tutorials.

Louise De Masi

Thank you Fiona. I'm glad you persisted. I often paint challenging subjects more than once. That's the key to succeeding. 💕

Cathy Bowden

Just finished the lovely Vizsla yesterday. It certainly was a challenge and a great learning curve. My first A3 watercolour and overall I am very happy with my dog. Thankyou Louise, I am enjoying your tutorials.

Robyn Chambers

I painted this today and I am so thrilled with the finished painting. Thank you Louise for a great tutorial.
