| I started off with a fairly detailed sketch. This is on 13 x 18 inches. |
 |
| I've done the first VERY light washes of aureolin & quin. burnt orange. The watercolor paper is 15.5 x 22.5 inches. |
 |
| I had to get the eyes done, so somehow it looked a bit like a dog. The nose has several glazes done, the tongue 2 or 3 washes, and I have started putting in washes of a grey for shadows. |
 |
More intensity all round, and I found I needed more aureolin on the neck and chest. |
 |
| I took this photo in morning light today, and primarily posted it to show the effect of different lighting. |
 |
| Here I am now. And it's 11:15 PM ... time for bed. |
