Dog Portrait Painting Process of Tika - Step 7


The background area - the bushes, evergreen and sky - are about finished. Though you cannot see it, there are several colors that make up the reddish bushes. I used my pastel pencils and deligate strokes to give them an airy feeling. Not sure about the sky and I am thinking is needs a little more reddish blue tones. What do you think?

The snow area has been softened, as well as Tika. The circle around her eye reminds me of a bull dog, but I will fix that soon. Now I need to work more on the "gentle giant" that she is, though I must not forget to get the dormat trees in the mid-ground area.

...to be continued.

I never would have expected a blue bull's eye and have no idea how that will end up! Tika's eyes were so gentle and soulful - I can't wait to see how you paint them. I love the background, and agree with the sky, I think, although I admit I am not exactly sure what reddish blue is.
