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. |
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!
ReplyDeletethose eyes! just beautiful, and I'm enjoying your dogwoods too. Can't wait to see the finished lab.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Kathryn! He is such a happy looking guy! YOu do great work with the eyes, and that tongue too. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you should be excited, Kathryn - this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking absolutely gorgeous Kathryn. I know what you mean about getting colours right, especially at night......
