Pooh Girls

This is the first of a series of paintings I'm doing of my dog - Pooh. I'll be doing this one in full color and try to get it as photo realistic as possible. Maybe I can get it to qualify as a hyper-realism.

First color layer - Used burnt umber, yellow ochre, titanium white and small touches of madder (crimson) lake deep.

Adding details to the nose.

Adding fur color layer. I used Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and Burnt Umber.

2nd color layer complete.

Alla Prima -Day Paintings

I'm Practicing some one color painting and decided to do some old photos of my Mom and Dad from 1961. I used a Burnt Umber with Titanium White scale. Each took about 5-6 hours. These are small about 6" X 4.5" on canvas paper.
