Continuing the dog portraits ...



This shows the second and third day of painting. I didn't take a photo of the first day but it was just the drawing blocked in with yellow ochre and burnt sienna. I didn't like the darker background on the first one.

Cloud progression


Thanks Gay for your encouragement. I am continuing to try and make the clouds look realistic. I find it very difficult. I am looking at actual clouds, photographs of clouds and paintings of clouds to get inspiration and ideas.

Big Clouds


I tried subtle clouds but when I looked out my window I realized that Oaxaca IS big clouds so I have to put them in...in some shape or form.

No clouds


I became frustrated with the heaviness of the clouds so I have taken them out to start fresh. I plan to put some subtle clouds in when the sky dries.
