Fresh Art: Pooches & Pretty Dresses

Just a quick post to share some of the custom portraits I’ve been at work on :D

This precious pooch is named Roxie and painting her glossy black coat presented a new challenge. Instead of using black paint, which can be stark and flat looking, I created my own purply black with a combination of alizarin crimson and phthalo green.

Painting this dreamy dress was a delight! (Apologies for overindulging my love of alliteration in this post.)
