Ozzy

valgedge3498

Just started a new painting, basic drawing to give me an idea of where to paint. Olly is a venerable labrador with a face full of character so I am looking forward to this developing.

It seems odd to be using white on a black dog, but the light shines on his coat and his mussel is grey.
Next layer , starting to come alive not too sure about the background but as the darks get darker it may be OK.
I’ve tried a different background it looks very different, I’ve contacted the buyer she thinks the left ear needs to be wider and says his right eye is blue, she has sent more photos to help me.
He is a lovely old boy I want to do him justice.
I think it is finished, I’m just waiting for the buyers feedback.
The buyer requested a charge of pose, I have to admit it looks better. All part of the learning process. He is a combination of 4 different photos. I hope to meet him and see his likeness in the flesh.
