Painting Black Dogs-WIP

Here's another black dog watercolor, 7.5"x9.5", on Arches, 140 lb. cold press. Almost finished.

New canine painting

Went to a great walk-in workshop yesterday. Got some useful information on using color to paint black dogs. Here's my first try. It is cropped by the size of my scanner, but this almost shows the difference between the use of color here and in older paintings. It actually has livelier color than shown here.

The image itself takes up about 9"x12" on Arches, 140 lb., cold press.

Getting Acquainted with Tempest

Here is Tempest. 7"x5" watercolor. The subtle areas in her coat did not show on my scan; this is as close as I could get it today.

Getting Acquainted with Woody and Winnie

Here are my latest watercolors. I am getting acquainted with ways to represent Woody, the canine on the right, and Winnie, on the left. These 3 sketches are in the order which I painted them, first on top, second, then third. I can see the improvement as I progressed.

This first one of Woody and puppy, Winnie, is 5"x7".
