I have finished working on the latest portrait today. It is of Zeus, the lovely german shepherd that I have been working on for the last few days. It is 25 x 35 cm in size painted on stretched canvas. I just love his majestic pose and I wanted to capture that in the painting. The background was left out of focus for Zeus to pop off the image. I used raw umber for the base as usual and then worked in ultramarine, burnt sienna, yellow ochre and titanium white to flesh out the painting.
