How to paint realistic fur, the million-dollar question, here are 10 quick tips that you can use straight away.

I could make a video 100 hours long and still not have told you everything there is to think about when you are painting fur! So in this video, I decided to give you some bite-sized bits of information, which can quickly be taken onboard. Easy techniques that you can think about, and implement, within your own watercolor animal paintings. I filmed these clips whilst recording a complete tutorial on painting a Red Panda, if you are interested in this tutorial, it is available within my online school, as a complete, real time lesson.
