Watercolour Dog Tongue Painting Lesson – Take Your Pet Portraits to the Next Level

A dog’s tongue is vitally important to help it control body temperature. As the dog exercises, its tongue becomes larger, and often hangs out of the mouth. This larger size, due to increased blood flow to the tongue, enables air to move rapidly over a much bigger surface area and this enables moisture to evaporate quickly to cool the animal down.

For the watercolourist, a dog’s tongue is a complex organ to paint. The texture, shapes and wet nature of it certainly pose a challenge. In this study, we focus on a tongue in order to break the process down into manageable steps. Whether you are using this study to paint your own portrait of a dog, or simply doing it for fun and practise, I hope you find it useful.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start drawing and painting the tongue in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 21-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
