Jaxx - Tri-coloured Shetland Sheepdog
Jaxx is the 4th Shetland Sheepdog portrait I created for the family. After they lost SAM in 2014, Jaxx came into the fold to join the 2 little girls, LEXI and KENZI. As I previously did, I took my camera up to meet Jaxx and although the day was hot and very sunny, I managed to capture this image which we all felt would compliment the previous portraits already hanging in their home.
MEDIUM: Coloured Pencils

CREATING THE PORTRAIT:
As the photo shoot was taken under difficult photographic conditions on the day, I was unable to get the perfect balance of detail, colour and tone and so used other photographs to ensure I got the right balance. The whites are quite over exposed from the sun and this can also lighten fur colouration too. Pose wise, this was a good choice as he looks a lovely, happy dog and a perfect match for the other 3 portraits completed last year.
