Here's another recent pet portrait - this lovely lady is an English chocolate lab named (you guessed it!) Daisy. I absolutely loved painting those flowers, and I hope I get the opportunity to paint more plants soon!
Watercolor and gouache on hot press paper, 5 x 6 inches.

I painted a Doberman named Wicked in watercolors!
Want a pet portrait done? My commissions are open!
I figured out a new technique with my watercolor brushes to make more realistic short/fine hairs. I am absolutely in love with this painting, I think it may be my best so far.
About my process:
So usually I’d use a cut up acrylic brush to get an uneven/jagged texture that creates strokes resembling when used to paint. This is great with long haired animals if they have flowing hair. With short haired dogs it doesn’t work as well because of the hundreds (thousands?) of tiny little strokes required to get the texture right. This time I used an actual watercolor brush (a smaller round brush) and would flick any excess water off so it was mostly dry (but with pigment) and splayed out kind of wildly (more or less depending on how sparse or heavy/dark I needed the hair to be in each area) I primarily used a Windsor & Newton Series-7 size 3 (finest sable). The paper is 9x12. Adjust your brush sizing accordingly. I used a white gel pen for corrections. Often it’s too bright for a particular area on a darker dog so I’ll often rub it in with my fingers to soften the contrast!

Wisptober Day 6: Vestige
"There used to be a mage living out in the woods, say the villagers. However, if you happen upon the vestige of the old atelier, all you might ecounter is a huge beast that has forgotten how to be human."
Is this accidentally inspired by Witch Hat Atelier? Apparently.XD (I swear I only realised while doing the finishing touches.I blame it on me adding a cape.XD)

Saying goodbye to our sweet girl Arwen last summer.
Making these pages in my sketchbook was so difficult to do… but I needed to do it. For me.
For her.
She was almost 11
