Back at it with traditional pet portraits

This pet portrait of my dear small dude of 16 years was therapeutic for me. I’ve painted furby many times but never quite felt the sort of depth and feeling in my paintings before. He was never groomed properly like a Pomeranian should be. I gave him baths in the sink and called it good. The use of pink as a background is pleasing with the blonde and golden fluff colors. Such a tiny nose he had. 😑 I miss him so much. Currently working on a series of pets painted traditionally as to mix up my mediums. I really believe I can confidently paint both digitally AND traditionally. It works! I love it and am excited to begin!

The painted pet portrait series will be listed and for sale on eBay very sooooon!

Mountain Dog Portrait

My painting marathon continues with this handsome mountain dog dude. I’m challenging myself to complete a bunch of animal paintings such as 💯 by the end of the year.  I’ve never taken something like this on but it’s so incredibly rewarding. I feel the more I complete a portrait the better they turn out. I see the progress and I’m learning new bits and pieces every day with using this amazingly sophisticated software called procreate. I haven’t really begun to utilize the tools properly. I do know there is so much more to learn and I am by no means near what I want to be as an artist but I feel good about where I’m at now and that the future goal of an art career is possible. I work. And then I walk the dog. And then I paint. That is my life.
