| Here is the reference photo I’ve painted from for this. This is my very willing model and muse who I use in a lot of my paintings. |
 |
| My line sketch transfered onto the velour |
 |
| Working that left part of the picture towards the right laying in background areas. |
 |
| Strengthening contrasts and adding the floor details and shadows. |
 |
| Working from the back forward for the plants and dog. Picking out the bits of highlighted sunlight. |
 |
| This plant was so fiddly! Quite a lot of use for the pastel pencils and a paper stump for neatening edges. |
 |
| This is my finished painting which is 12″x18″. The colours I worked with made the painting more subtle than the original photo. |
Magnifique BRAVO
Thanks so much Godefroy 🙂
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the steps.
Thank you! I want to share the journey of everything I paint as I think it's useful and interesting and have learnt much from other artists processes.
beautiful! I have a mini long haired doxie who I love! thanks for posting your tips on velour, I am going to try some, as I was having trouble compared to regular sanded paper.
Thanks for the feedback Joanne. I love all dogs but the Dachshunds are a firm favourite! Love their strength of character which is why I paint my own girl so much. Good luck with the velour, it's a great surface
