Well ... I'm Past the EEK Stage, and into the "What the ???" Stage - Dog Portraits in Progress

Here, I added a w/w wash of cobalt blue over the dried quin. rose and burnt orange.

Then, I spent this morning finishing her eyes, and doing some soft glazing on the furry shadows.

Here she is - in a close-up.

With Drake, I started a scrumbly background with aureolin towards the top and quin. burnt orange below. 

I am continuing with the scrumbles, using two shades of brown made of quin. burnt orange, quin. violet and indanthrone.

A decent morning's work for me. I hope to get more done this afternoon, after playing with Bruno and the dogs.

Thank you for dropping by!

  3. Both dogs look terrific. It's slow going, but the results are well worth it. That Drake looks like a sweetheart

  4. Loving the progress with these two wonder-dogs. Once the eyes are 'alive' the paintings start to take on a life of their own.

    Your geese certainly begin my day with a smile when I open your blog :)
