I love your style of painting AND teaching! You’re very growth your knowledge, thank you. I also live it when you show the different versions of your paintings.

Daniel Smith black is very granulating and creates cool effects when added to other colors! Love the bunny so much! Going to try some sketches with this technique!

What a cute little bunny! I like the way you work the light and shadow and the contours with the shiny fur.😍

I’m currently looking into adding more paints to my palette. I guess the DS lamp black will have to go on the list. The painting is beautiful!

I have yet to try the Daniel Smith Lamp Black or any black for painting. I am just amazed by the amount of spreading fine textures that it gives for a fur effect. Thanks for sharing theses tips with us and I’m enjoying & looking forward to giving it a try soon.

I use 140 lb for preliminary paintings, but my final I use 300
I have done the opposite lol doing a black kitten, using black into wet and creating the most adorable fluffy kitty!!

I love bunnies! This is sooo cute. Thank you for showing this technique. I saw ano5her artist's tutorial and in the background were dandelion seed blooms on black. I was wondering how she did that. Now I'm thinking that it might have been what you just showed us! 💡😳 Thanks again, most helpful.

Lots of great information in this video. You have a style that I find makes me want to stop and look at the painting for a long time. I thought I was already subscribed to your channel, but was not!!! I took care of that this morning. Thank you!

[Metal_Gigi]

Great information! I always learn so much from you. Especially, from your Patreon tutorials. I highly recommend them. Thank you for all you do, Rachel!
