Painting Fur in Corel Painter…

Is so very easy and the above portrait of a lovely and might I also add….so very lively Corgi named Scarlet shows just how easy painting fur is. This was a commissioned portrait and I actually was the one that photographed her while she and her person were visiting to help Scarlet socialize with other dogs…the original images had several dogs in the image. I copped the image below to show Scarlet alone.
The entire portrait was created using the pastels in Corel Painter…and of course the blenders…even the background. You can paint as traditional and or as photo realistic as you or your client prefer, or as colorful. A special fur brush is not at all needed….although you could adjust the setting to any brush to give it a more tapered look at the end. Be creative and Never be afraid to just paint
