Black Labrador Tutorial - Part 1 - Intermediate to Advanced (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I've divided this tutorial into two parts. This is Part 1.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/99680162

Meet Ochre. He lives 2 houses away from us and he often drops in for a visit.  I thought he would make a good subject for us to practice painting black fur.

In this tutorial we'll use a limited palette of three colours plus a little white gouache for the whiskers. We'll work wet on wet and wet on dry and we will adjust the consistency of the paint as we need to. I also apply some cool pan pastel highlights at the end - to create interest.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here. I have included lots of progress photos of my painting to help you paint him. You can download them individually or all at once by clicking on the "Download all" button.
