A-Z Art Challenge Week 4: D is for...
DOG!
I don't think I have ever done a pet portrait before. or any animal for that matter (except maybe some folk art sheep haha).
I truly enjoyed painting this, my brother's dog, named Captain. I went with a much looser painting which was a very different style for me. The challenge was to capture the essence of personality in Captain. I'm not sure that I pulled that off but I'm still happy with how the painting turned out.
Capturing the personality is the most important part of doing any portrait, which may be why I stay away from them. But after taking this on, I won't be opposed to doing one again.
This 26 week, A-Z challenge is helping me to grow as an artist by forcing me to try new things.
Soooo, on to week 5. :) Tracy
