Baxter Pet Portriat Steps in Progress

 

Baxter is the cutest name for this adorable little Chocolate Labrador! 

 Step 1 - First a few light washes

 Next I like to start on the eyes, they make the painting!

 Now it's time for more shading.

Once I get the shading in I felt it needed more highlights.

You can remove watercolor paint by lifting it out with clean water and a brush.

 

 Some final detailing and whiskers (I used white gouache for them).

Baxter State Park New England Morning - Picture it

Baxter state park  in the morning....No, I'm not there but sure wish I could be. Could you imagine having a log cabin right here on the water? Wonder if anyone would ever take that view for granted?

Our family has been watching the show on Netflix called "Alaska the last frontier" from the Discovery Channel. They live on a Homestead...and it's a hard but rewarding life. It's been really interesting watching how they live. I could see myself doing some of it....but I'm a creature of comfort.

I can picture myself in a little log cabin with a fireplace...but I'd need WiFi and a few more necessities to make it work for me!

Have A Lovely Morning....
