I have finished working on Prince’s portrait yesterday. It was sitting on my ‘done’ shelf for a day. I wanted to make sure Prince was captured as he deserved to be. I scanned it today and adjusted the scan on the computer to match the painting. Some of the fine detail got a little lost in the highlighted areas, but it is very close to the original. I hope the client likes it 🙂
I think the background has worked really well at the end. The warm grey is lovely against the yellows in Prince’s fur. For the painting I used burnt umber, raw umber, yellow ochre (a lot of it :), ultramarine blue, venetian red and titanium white. I always work with a limited palette as I feel it results in a more harmonious painting. But that is just how I work 🙂
Next up will be that promised painting of the two lovely German shepherds. I had to put it aside for a little while to work on paintings with tight deadlines. So please order with plenty of time before your deadline.
