Pet Portrait
For this project I decided I wanted to do my dog in oils because I have never painted fur before and wanted to try it. With more practice it would look better, but I'm happy with how it looks. The sunglasses were just brown in the picture, but I wanted to try to use bright colors so the painting wasn't just all brown. I decided to do green for the background because I thought it would contrast nicely with the red glasses. One of the hardest parts was the texture in the nose. I tried dabbing the paint, but it just made a mess so I made his nose smooth. The colors and proportions are slightly off, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
