Build Up - Bold & Colourful Dog Portraits for Beginners - Easy painting
Hi Everybody, In today’s lesson we explore a simple and expressive way to paint dog portraits surrounded by flowers. This approach focuses on building a painting step by step, beginning with simple shapes and gradually adding colour, texture, and character. The goal of this exercise is to discover how a loose and intuitive painting method can create lively and personal portraits. By simplifying the structure of the dog into basic shapes and then building colour layer by layer, the process becomes easier, more enjoyable, and surprisingly freeing. In this exercise you will see how portraits develop from simple sketches into colourful paintings using a limited palette. The technique works well for acrylic, gouache, or oil painting, and it can also be adapted for watercolour. Along the way we also talk about some important artistic principles such as: • simplifying complex subjects into basic shapes • building a composition step by step • using limited colour palettes • balancing colours with the 60–30–10 rule • repeating colours to create harmony • keeping brushwork loose and expressive Painting can also be a reflective practice. When we slow down and build a painting gradually, we often discover that the process itself becomes just as important as the final result. So if you enjoy expressive painting, colourful compositions, and dogs, this exercise should give you a few ideas to try in your own work. As always, keep on practicing, and Thank you for joining us.
