....wanted to share one of my first attempts of a dog portrait ....I painted this study about five years ago , with the initial "wet in wet" wash adding some detail "wet in dry" , at the time I took the advice of a good friend and artist to leave it as it was at this stage and just enjoy it as it was ....so it was left unfinished without adding darks and further details ...the owner of nina loved this initial study so much I gave it as a present to her.
I have recently been looking at old portraits and pet portraits studies and sketches as i've decided to take a "portrait course" with London Art College ....hope to post a few of the exercises ... busy drawing eggs at the moment ! ..the portrait course will be a difficult challenge for me.
