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).

Ripple To Wave - Ink Painting

"Ripple To Wave"

Our Dog of 16 years, Kota has come to a point where a decision needs to be made. It started off as a ripple, she had a hard time walking and developed a number of masses. The past week she has deteriorated. The crest of the wave is now here, it's big and scary. 

 We know she had a wonderful life but it's so hard making the call to let her go.

Once the wave has past....a calm will appear.

Daily Painting 24 "LOBSTERMAN'S BEST FRIEND"

"Lobsterman's Best Friend"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache/Ink

Day 24/30 of our Daily Painting Challenge.

A friend of mine posted this adorable picture of her yellow lab, Finn on facebook the other day and I just had to paint him! I should have asked permission first,  but I just couldn't help myself! I sent her a note this morning asking if I could post it, and lucky for me she said yes! (Phew)

I thought it was such a classic Maine sight....a lobsterman with his best friend....heading out to set traps for the day. According to Jodi, Finn was patiently waiting to go!

Special  thanks to Jodi Galvin for the reference photo!
