How to Paint ANIMAL EYES in Watercolour (Dog Eye Painting Tutorial)

Let me share my professional experience, and teach you how to paint animal eyes in watercolour in 20 minutes.

This video will give you a good grounding in the techniques and methods I use when painting lifelike, sparkling animal eyes. The eyes will make or break a portrait, so the more practise we get with them, the better. I go through the whole process from start to finish, and I include the area around the eye so that the eye becomes 'part' of something.

I painted the whole study using two brushes, and some handmade paper sent to me by Panart Global. If you would like to see my full review of these brushes: https://bit.ly/3jZNuQv
