I found this photo of a miniature bulldog just lying there looking up with a longing expression and decided to see what I could do with it. I didn’t get the expression as well as I’d like. I may redo it tomorrow in color. They have such dopey-sweet faces! This was done with a flair pen then brushed with water. Size 4 X 5.

Well, here is today’s practice….another dog….I’m not happy with the color. It should be a pinkish grey, but that’s what happens when I paint at night instead of earlier in the day! I also need to correct the eyes. So, tomorrow I’ll either do some corrections or complete a different one. Practice, practice, practice!! This was done in watercolor on Strathmore paper size: approx. 7 X 5.
Enjoy!
This is a watercolor, approximately 7 X 5″. Thought I’d practice on a different breed before going back to my Shih Tzus. I think it’s Pango’s turn next. Enjoy

Well, see….sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t. This is supposed to be a drawing of Flecke, a main coon cat that owns my son and his wife, done with flair pen, brush and water. I think I almost lost the eyes. I missed another patch of white below the chest as well. But, I won’t give up. I’ll get her and Finke someday….but next time it will probably be watercolor to show the brown areas in their fur.
