Learn to Paint a Miniature Poodle in Watercolour, with my Step by Step Downloadable PDF Tutorial
Trolle is a 4-year-old, purebred, male miniature poodle. His real name is Lumikristallin Puhiseva Paavo, he lives in Finland, and belongs to one of my Patreon members. His owner answered my request for a white, curly haired dog, that I could use as a subject for a tutorial. White fur and curly fur have been a colour and a texture that I’ve been asked to cover in a lesson more than once, so here you go, in this lesson, we will cover three types, wavy, curly and frizzy!
Whilst white can be tricky, the advantage of using a white, curly haired dog has been that the white goes on last, so you can really see what the lines in the final layer are doing. You can obviously use the techniques for any curly haired dog, but working with tones of say brown, or black, the details applied on the final layer will not be as obvious and easy to see. Hence, the reason for using white in this lesson.
Given the complexity of the subject, I have classed this as an advanced project, but I do go through everything, and for someone with less experience, I would suggest having a go at the fur sections, and practising them on some scrap paper. You will be able to learn the techniques for painting curly fur, and working with white paint, but without the added jeopardy of trying to paint an actual dog.
This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Poodle in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 41-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.
