Starting up a new Pet Portrait
Friday, February 5th, 2010This is the first stage of Farley. Its a watercolor portrait in the size little bigger then 7 x 9 inch. Its because I create a bigger portrait to fit the dimensions rather then trying to squeeze in the subject on a size that doesn’t quite fit in. The portrait would be too small and I really don’t want that. At first I paint the bigger areas with light colors. I also paint the subject with colors which reflect the environment or background, in this case blue. I will finish the portrait next week.
I will also start to paint the oil portrait of Glinka and the first Limited edition Print of King Charles Spaniels, in the park. Since I can’t paint in Saturday and Sunday, I will take the time to update a website for a client and also create a logotype for a Pet Shop here in Sweden next week. The Logotype will have the same style as the illustrations which I created for a book.
