This is a comprehensive and insightful guide that excels in every aspect.

Animal portrait artist Dave White, whose passion for animals shines through in his work, also provides valuable advice for beginners and advanced artists alike who seek to capture the essence and personality of dogs in their portraits.

The guide begins with detailed guidance on composition, color selection, and choosing appropriate reference materials. White then teaches essential painting techniques, covering everything from creating an outline and underpainting to capturing the three-dimensional characteristics of your pet that will elevate your artwork, such as realistic hair and whiskers, capturing the shine on a nose, and achieving a glint in the eye.

Following this, the author presents three step-by-step projects, each with a different subject matter, including a short-haired dog, a long-haired dog, and a group portrait. These projects are specifically designed to guide you through the essential poses required to start painting your own dogs.

The book concludes with a brief section offering practical advice on setting up and running your own pet portrait business. Whether you are a beginner looking to embark on your artistic journey or an experienced artist seeking to refine your skills, this guide is an invaluable resource that will help you achieve your goals.
