Original Creation

My sweet Pirate

Sunnylady 28 Apr 2023

My first dog portrait ever. It was a challenge. Even I had acrylic underpainting to block darkest areas when oil came in it got out of control.

I used 4 colors only to make my life easier. But it was not easy at all.

I wanted to have rather robust brushwork but my love to blend came to interfere with every second brush stroke. It was a fight and I got stuck at the end. Thus I call it done.

A great first doggie portrait....Nice job Sunny!

Beautiful. Reminds me of my first Labrador.

Hey Sunny, Well done. A good first dog painting ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Excellent and anything with a dog in it will be a smash!

Beautiful job!

OMG, it is fantastic

Thank you my dear friends! I was so exhausted that for awhile I could not move and just sat in the chair.

Youโ€™re too hard on yourself! For a first dog portrait I think itโ€™s great

Very nice Sunny

Looks great, well painted.

@Lzicchinla, @Tony, @Dave - thanks a lot for your kind words and support!
