Dog portrait painting in progress

May 2, 2016 ~ This slideshow shows various steps of a dog portrait painting (in commission) I made. See how it develops from pencil drawing to finished painting. Of course there are many many more steps I’ve made, especially in the design and details. Those steps can be seen in my 1st book (3rd print edition) on animal painting, called “Dieren tekenen en schilderen”, showing a lot of close-ups on painting fur and painting the eyes. Although the book is not in english language at this date, the images show it all.  Also a list of materials is added. This book is almost sold out, also by the publisher…so don’t wait too long to order it here!

Want to see more animal painting  techniques?
In my 2nd book called ‘Inspirerend dieren tekenen en schilderen’, I go even further into the matter of painting animals. Showing over 200 animal portraits, I talk about edges, inspiration, backgrounds, painting good shadows in fur- and eyes, etc.  Order your copy of the 2nd book here.
Update: Part 1 is available in English!  (nov 2016). Order your copy here!
