Yesterday I finally completed the oil portrait of Flat Coated Retriever Laddie. I scanned the painting in two parts and puzzled the pieces together into one digital picture for you to view the final outcome.
Each time I scan a portrait I need to edit the picture in photoshop for at least one hour in order to make it look at least somewhat like the original. I really need a better scanner :P.
I absolutely love this painting! I was a bit sceptic about how the painting will look before I started to paint, however I’m very pleased with how it turned out. There is so much personality in this picture and that’s what its all about. The painting looks awesome here in the Studio.
