Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Tutorial
The subject for this tutorial is an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Brie. The photo was provided by Brie’s loving owner and rescuer, Verity Camp.
“Verity saved Brie from the hell she was living in, and shared almost seven more years with her, giving her the love and affection she had missed all those years. That makes this tutorial very special to me,” says artist Peggy Osborne. “I wanted to honor the life of this precious pup. Seeing her lying in the grass looking at me with those beautiful, big soft eyes touched my soul. I hope it touches yours, too.”
Peggy draws Brie on tan Strathmore Toned Paper, and she uses Prismacolor pencils. She walks you step-by-step through the process of drawing multi-colored fur, ears with lovely long fur, bright, shining eyes, and a nose that looks wet. You’ll also learn how to use odorless mineral spirits, a colorless blender, and Brush & Pencil’s Titanium White mixture to draw a realistic dog portrait.
The tutorial includes a full supply list and a line drawing, as well as a full-size reference photo. Download the tutorial, print the line drawing, and get a fast start today.
