A Pet Portrait in watercolor

Pet Portrait in watercolor 8 by 10 on Arches cold press



OK so honestly, I couldn't remember my blog password.  Is that a sure sign of old age creeping in?  
Anyway, I am back and this was the last portrait I was working on.  It will be a surprise gift, getting ready to send it on, hope they love it!

    1. Thank you so much, I struggled a bit with the shape of his head, both in the sketch and the painting, the values were a bit tricky for me.

  3. Oh I love it Maria! Great job and they will definitely love it too! And no! It's not old age! I forget my passwords all the time.. I honestly think it's just because we have so many emails, blogs, and facebooks to remember ;)

  5. Maria, love this little doggie!! I think it one of my favs. I forget passwords all the time. I had to change my twitter, because some one hacked it. It took me forever to remember what I changed it to. Love your blog design!!
