How to Create Complex Fur Patterns in Watercolor

Creating complex fur patterns can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating, and you can do this!

This tutorial is available with the monthly and annual subscription, or you can purchase the single course (click the "enroll" button at top of page.)

These lessons offer solutions for tackling complex parts of a painting - techniques and tools that you can apply to your own projects, so that YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF. The course contains two parts:

PART 1: Answers to common questions and conundrums, including How to Create the Drawing, Color Mixing, How to Keep from Getting Lost, Layering Color While Avoiding Mud, Creating Contour, Terms and Troubleshooting.

PART 2: Short studies based on parts of a subject - videos in real time - showing how to tackle a specific challenge, including:

The unruly fur of Charlie, the teddy bear:

The long haired ear of Norah, the Cocker Spaniel:

The chunky fur of Tyler, the Aussiedoodle:

The curly black hair of this poodle (including the eye!)

The curly brown fur of Chewie, the Cavadoodle

These techniques are based on what I have learned as a pet portrait and wildlife artist. There are many methods for tackling a subject. These work for me, and I hope you can use them as a guide in developing your own style.

If you are not happy with the course, Contact Rebecca Rhodes within the first 30 days of purchase, and you will receive a full refund.

As always, I welcome your questions and comments, including tips that work for you. I hope you enjoy the course!
