Pet Portrait Series: Fluffy Pup

🐶 Feel the softness of every brushstroke. In this 1+ hour live-recorded demo, Kai Lun Qu shows you how to paint a fluffy pup—with texture, depth, and character—while balancing soft and hard edges in both foreground and background.


You’ll learn how to:

  • 🎨 Build painterly variety in fur using expressive brushwork

  • 📐 Use edge control to suggest volume and softness without over-detailing

  • 💡 Create a sense of depth by balancing hard edges (for structure) and lost edges (for fluff)

  • 🔍 Carry these techniques into your own pet portraits, so you can paint your furry companion with confidence


Ideal for advanced artists, or anyone who wants to elevate their animal portraiture into something both expressive and believable. Runtime: 1+ hours.
