Back in 2012, my very first pet portrait was a West Highland White Terrier – a gift for a good friend and former colleague.
Here is the latest watercolor painting, another “Westie,” an 8″ x 10″ portrait based on a photo from Chris Keller on Pixabay.
This portrait had unique challenges:
- The hair patterns required thinking in “shapes.”
- The white subject on the white background was created using watery applications of pale color.
I appreciate the requests from everyone to create a white dog, and this tutorial will be available at my Online School as soon as editing is complete.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to check it out, I hope you can find the time to visit the school and get the free video!
Thanks for visiting!
you are amazing and look forward to help with White dogs on white paper…I struggle with them! And you are the best!!!!!
Hi Lockie, thank you for your message!
I replied to your message from Facebook – did you receive it?
Hi Rebecca,
I am enjoying your painting class! Your instructions are very clear. The close up views in the videos are wonderful. It helps me to see your painting techniques and the color mixing in action. This is so helpful!
I’m excited to see what tutorials you have planned for April?
Thank you!
Linda, I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the tutorials – thanks so much for your comments – I appreciate and value your input. I’m working on the next tutorial now, and hope to have it ready to go by the end of the week. Best wishes to you!
I am really looking forward to learning how to paint a white dog from the watercolor teacher that I think is excellent!
Hi Linda, thanks so much! I hope to have the video ready to go in about a week. Best wishes to you!
