How to paint a Pug using acrylics (Step 1/3) - blocking in layer - paint with me and tutorial

How to paint a Pug using acrylics (Step 1) - blocking in layer - paint with me and tutorial.

Here is a detailed real time tutorial on how I start a realistic style pug dog portrait using acrylics. This video focuses on the first blocking in layer and getting the first paint onto paper/canvas prior to building up your layers.
I also just talk about a few bits and bobs in general so that there is not too much silence and also practise for me talking as I work and record. Yes I look and sound a little awkward but with your support, I can continue doing these and hopefully get over that in time. I hope you manage to take something from it. I am looking forward to doing tutorials of the final stages of my realism work but for now, the initial stages of producing a painting are also useful and we all have to walk before we can run (I am currently working on step 2 tutorial). I do hope to do plenty more of these if it is popular. I hope my Yorkshire accent is easy enough to understand also. I tried not to be too broad lol.
