Today I have finished working on the bride portrait. I scanned it then in the afternoon, which took a while since it is a larger painting. I had to scan it in six pieces and put together on Photoshop. I think I have to get a bigger scanner, life is too short for A4 :-). Anyway, I think the portrait worked out really well. I worked very hard to get the detail and colouring right. I used acrylic paints on stretched canvas which I primed in house. The reference photograph was really good and that made all the difference.
I will be working on Alfred’s portrait next week. Alfred is a lovely Dalmatian that sadly passed away and his owners wanted a portrait to remind them of him.
