How to Paint a Maltese Dog Portrait in Oils with Suzanne Barrett Justis

In this time lapsed painting tutorial video, I will take you from start to finish on Mikey, the Maltese dog portrait . I will start by going over the palette of colors I will be using in this white dog's portrait. Then I will start the oil painting by using a thin wash of paint using paint thinner and oil paint and then wipe off the shapes and form of the dog. I will slowly build up the paint starting with the darker cooler and finish with the lighter, warmer colors.

I am painting on a 9 x 12 gessoed masonite panel which is super smooth and offers the most amount of detail on its surface . I am using a variety of oil paint brands, Gamsol odorless paint thinner and linseed oil. I use Rosemary and Company brushes in the Eclipse and Ivory series in rounds and filberts and in a variety of sizes.

This was a posthumous portrait for a client I did work for over 30 Years ago when I was in college She was able to track me down by using my maiden now. It gives me a wonderful feeling knowing my client valued my work enough to try and find me after so much time

Most of the brushes I am using are Rosemary and Co Brushes. Here it the link to the their website https://www.rosemaryandco.com?u=5711a7

as well as links to the actual brushes I was using

The Domed Eclipse Filbert I was using can be found on this link....it's a wonderful little brush, great for both application and blending.

the pure red sable in the 81 series was used for blending . I wanted to give you the link to this brush in case you are interested in getting one for yourself
