Sweet Jonah!
This was a very special commission- I felt honored to be asked to paint this dearly loved dog that passed away just before christmas! 11x14 acrylic on deep stretched canvas.
Did the drawing on paper, worked out the kinks, and transferred it to the base coated canvas( constant erasing messes up the base coat.. And I constantly erase when drawing!) the base color is very similar to some of the more supersaturated hues in the photo.
This is how I usually paint: photo right beside!

Thanks for following!
Worth noting: I charge an additional 50 added to whatever price you see on the price list. I don't mind doing them, but to get the likeness takes time!!!
