About this lesson
Walks through the opening stages of a realistic dog portrait on hardboard: choosing a well-lit reference, a detailed sepia colored-pencil drawing sealed under matte medium, a neutral ultramarine/burnt sienna background, and transparent umber-sienna glazes that build the mid-tone fur while preserving highlights.
