PORTRAIT Tip

Start With The Portrait Base First

Tip: Starting with the portrait base first has many advantages!

It gives you a beautiful, soft foundation of fur or skin, with natural light and shadow transitions. Since the rest of the paper is still unpainted, you don’t have to worry about other colors bleeding into your portrait and muddying the fur or skin layer.

​

Once the paper is dry, you can easily paint the background. At this stage, it’s also easier to outline the face or use fun brush techniques to create a textured, hairy edge for the fur.

After that, you can gently rewet the portrait or animal figure and add richer colors here and there. Thanks to the solid base, these additional layers will blend softly, creating diffused effects without harsh edges.

​

Happy painting!
