Carmella Continued

I think this is where I left off yesterday.
Taken in morning light.

Taken with flash
Some detail work around tongue/mouth.

More color around mouth.

Afternoon light.
Still working around mouth.
Very distorted color and value with flash.
All colors are placed [not at finished value]
except for chain and dog tag.




 
   I must say I am quite excited about how this portrait is coming along! The last photo I took [at night] does it NO justice whatsoever. But it's getting late, it is very hard to paint with blacks at night, and I am working as a dental hygienist tomorrow. So, off to bed!

  1. Kathryn, this lab portrait is coming along so nicely, the colors are brilliant, you have captured such a warm and loving character in this dog. I will follow along very closely as a friend has asked me to paint a portrait of her black lab that recently passed away, unexpectedly. Wishing I could put together something close to what you have accomplished here!
