Now I will show some of my watercolor tricks. The pigments used are named in the tutorial.

1. First make a loose sketch from your your reference photo + figure out what the background shall look like

2. Mask the stuff you don´t want to ruin - with masking tape.

3. Paint the background wet-in-wet.

4. Unmask where the dog will be painted. Put on masking fluid for the lightest parts.

5. Paint the fur wet-in-wet, first with Ivory black - then let it dry - second with Neutral Tint.

6. Remove the masking fluid - To leave white is important! (I learned for an other time I put on to much in some areas - easier to scrape the whiskers)

7. Paint details - mostly with Neutral tint.
