New Commission

Another commission and I now have a happy, smiling face. This time it is a dog portrait. Really enjoying getting back to drawing.

beginnings

moving on

and now a body

nearly there

Much as I have thoroughly enjoyed drawing with pencil again, trying to get the fur looking right on the chest was a bit of a nightmare. A lot of going over it and rubbing out and redrawing.

finished commission

'Rhona and Luna'

Finally finished this painting, I really enjoyed doing it and learnt a lot. Spent a lot of time trying different ways of making Luna appear furry, successfully I believe.







Now to start a new painting!

I think it's time for a self-portrait. Something I've not done in a while.
I have a vague idea in my head of something that's slightly washed out, pale colours. Not quite there. A transition state, morphing from one thing to another.

dogs 'n' people

The new painting..... Just roughly done so far.

My first try at a dog.
