Obie - Fawn Boxer Dog in Acrylics

MEDIUM: Acrylics on board
SIZE: 11" X 14"
SUPPORT: Ampersand Gessobord
COMPLETED: AUGUST 2016

CREATING THE PORTRAIT:

A wash is applied to the canvas before loose layers of colour are carefully placed to ensure the perspectives are kept in check. The next layers are defining these areas, laying down the undertones whilst defining details to prepare for the next stages. A textured background is applied before continuing the definition which will be followed up with the finer details.

TESTIMONIAL FROM RECIPIENT


​Karen,
Your painting brought tears to my eyes and a huge smile to my lips.  He's home, on my wall.  You did an awesome job of capturing my beautiful boy, Obe.  He looks like you could reach out and touch him.
Thank you!  I love it.
