Dog - Cockapoo 🎨 (Patreon)

I have had a lot of requests for dog tutorials. There's a lot of different dog breeds that look very different, so I will make more dog videos soon - let me know if you have a requests for a specific breed!

I thought we could start with a cockapoo, as this is a popular breed and you can use the techniques in this tutorial with any curly haired dog, any poodle mixes etc.

Supplies used:

• Liquitex acrylic paints - titanium white, bright green aqua, primary yellow, yellow oxide, cadmium orange, red oxide, medium magenta, fluorescent pink, quinacridone magenta, brilliant purple, deep violet, light blue permanent, prussian blue, mars black

• Paintbrushes - large wide flat (background), fan (splatters), small/medium filbert (fur), small pointed (fur, eyes and details)

• I used an 8"x8" canvas, but this will work on any size

  Any questions just let me know!
