In this tutorial I'll share some top tips for painting fur in acrylics. There are some key process to use throughout the painting process to ensure that depth and realism is achieved in our acrylic paintings. Painting realistic fur very much relies on the layering process. Through the use of glazes and detailed layers and by studying the contrast at each stage we can create a highly photo realistic painting. This tutorial really shows how using glazes takes the stress out of colour mixing and makes applying the colour so much easier so we can enjoy the painting process.
