Finished Painting

The finished painting on Pastelmat 18″ x 13″

This complex triple portrait was a great excuse to show you some of my techniques when it comes to composition. In this longer series I take you right from the beginning planning the composition and then through the painting stages of each dog.
The first dog is colour coded and narrated showing you from start to finish including how I made adjustments to his eyes from different photo reference. This dog is perfect if you want to work along with me.
After that I’ve given you the rest of the painting in real time footage. It’s the same colours and techniques on all three dogs so you’ll be able to follow along if you fancy taking on the bigger project.
