  1. Great tutorial! Did she use some burnt sienna in the background? It looks a bit warmer than burnt umber. I would like to see more ideas for backgrounds. Thank you for all your advice, especially for us beginners!

  2. Thank you. I am quite new to pet portraits but I feel I have developed my style now. I totally agree with everything you say regarding realism and capturing the essence of the subject. My main problem is with white fur. I find it very difficult to get depth and detail with it making it look like an old worn out duster.. I wonder if you could offer any advice pleases?

  3. Its a lovely painting, with a lot of talent used! But I did have to turn off the sound 4min into the video tho… I know there are people out there, just like me… We might not be many, I don’t know… But listening to every single breath of yours, through your whistling nose, gives me anxiety, for real… Please don’t breathe into the microphone, it’s making me cringe so hard! And I’d really like to watch your videos, with sound on! Because you both have great talent that I’d like to learn from!

  4. I love the work that you both do. It's absolutely stunning, and so lifelike. I wish that I was able to capture animals like this.
    I used to sketch and paint but that was many-many moons ago and I basically lost the ability. Instead I now do pyrography which still gives me a huge amount of enjoyment but I'd love to add some colour to some of the pieces, so I'm taking and absorbing all the tips that you pass on. I follow Amber on instagram also.
