Whew, after a long, hard fought battle with the 36"x36" canvas, I have finally overcome all odds, and am now victorious!
I will let the pictures tell the story for this one. I've compiled all of the progress photos so that you can actually see how the painting took shape over time. And of course, Brandy pitched in at the end.
It was very satisfying to work on a piece this large as the progress was so obvious all the way along ... helps with motivation.
Background and outline first
Under painting - have a lot of ground to cover
Blocking in depth and shadows
Starting to take shape
Highlights, outlines and shadows, he looks like a real dog now
Final highlights and shadows, touch ups on the outlines
Signature, and ahhhh, completion
Apparently it's extraordinarily stressful to pose in front of a painting for me
