Berta-Portrait of a Leonberger Mix

This is a portrait of my sister's rescue leonberger mix "Berta". The original is painted with acrylic paints on a 8 1/2" x 11" heavy card stock paper. I have put together a short step by step representation on how I painted this portrait. It's a slide show with scans from the painting in progress with music in the background called "Die Moldau" by Arndt Stein. Enjoy the show and Thank you for watching.
