day 4 pet portraits



so today it is sunny and i am painting on the screened in porch. I brought Tolstoy and beckett outside with me and i painted to classical music on NPR. I have brought the painting up to the point of adding more detail and getting everything right for the owners. In case you do not know, painting anything black is most difficult since you have to use layers of darks and lights to create contrast. So now i need to work on the curly hair of the poodle and give the cat another look.
Details will go the rug and the painting will be turned upside down to check the composition.
