| I have started my second try at Miss P. I painted the background doing a w/w wash with permanent rose and quin. burnt orange, and then scrumbled with those colors and cobalt blue. Then I did another rough application with a violet made of indanthrone and pink. |

| I love expressing emotions in animals' faces. I painted this one, called "The Laughing Labrador", several years ago for a good friend. |
 |
| I love the expression she has here - another face full of happiness! Just began last night, with two washes of phthalo blue for the background, and am working on her face this morning. I have no idea what color to paint her scarf - I need it bright and sunny, but not overwhelming. Any ideas??? I really haven't been this excited and pleased with painting in months. But working on these two portraits is such a joy!Thank you so much for dropping by! |
