90x90cm(!) Charcoal sketch on canvas. Will try to make an acrylic painting of her later. I think the size is important and is making it more powerful for me. And it is my first dog portrait, always did my cats....
Welcome to the world of dog portraits! Lovely sketch. I look forward to seeing your painting. This is a very cute subject. I am sure it will be wonderful.
oh what a charmer.. great sketch Nelly.. The features are right on!
I just finished a dog portrait, and it wasn't easy for me, I'm used to landscapes....but you make it look so easy.. can't wait to see it painted.
Excellent drawing, Nelly. I can't wait to see the painting. If it is per your usual excellence I will be stunned. Great job and brilliant portrait. Michael
So many yonks ago Nelly we would do quick charcoal contour sketches - they were some of my favorites - your pic has brought back such fond memories of art school - thanks ~:0)
