Step three

I started painting Bryan first, as of the two dogs he is lying beneath Tilly.

I wanted to make him feel anchored in the painting before I attempted to paint her.

This is quite a different painting from my usual dogs, in that the eyes are not really visible in either. I cannot do my usual method of painting the eyes first to get the feel of the dog - but I enjoy the challenge .

  2. Hi Pat! I think following an artist's journey is really neat. It helps to inspire me to make progress as well. I think it's super fellow dog bloggers find eachother virtually. Thanx for stopping by my dog blog, too.

  5. Thanks, Pam. xx
    At this stage, Bryan is nearly there, but needs some sharpening yet.
    I hope it will be a painting that Sarah will treasure :)
