Fisherhound — Handling High-Contrast Midday Light

In this tutorial, I paint Fisherhound from start to finish, creating a bright outdoor scene set under strong midday lighting.

I focus on decisions around high-contrast light, color separation in sunlit conditions, and how reference images inform design choices without dictating them.

This is a complete, uninterrupted painting process with voice-over, including adjustments and corrections as the image develops.
