First washes, and then some....



First washes are being applied, and I'm working on putting the eyes of the dog into the painting. In the reference photo I'm working from, her eyes are half closed from the sunlight on her. I have a few other photos to refer to but her eyes are still a challenge at the moment.

This portrait will be a full body pose.

Tomorrow's another day, and Christmas is not far away....
