Painting Chair Legs in a Pet Portrait

Video Transcript

"Now we?re going to finish off not only our chair but the rest of the background so we can move on to our main central subject, the dog. We?re going to do this by taking the brush that we last used up here on the green and the yellow and were going to apply and just put some burnt sienna on the brush so that we're going to start getting more of like a mat wood color. At the same time some old flecks of the green are going to show through because we just used this brush upstairs. And actually, that?s intentional, that?s something I want. I want the chair legs to be a little connected, somewhat to the rest of the chair, so I'm adding very subtle color traces. So you?re connected to the green and the yellow. So were going to continue this trace down here. Again going back don't forget to add the traces of green and yellow in here and around the edges. Especially in the central part here because after a while, you'll start to get a reflection effect, which is what we want. The wood is slightly reflective. So definitely keep adding those highlights, extend this down to the chair legs and up underneath the bottom and then your background will be done."
