"Papillon"(finished)

5" x 7" Oil on gessoed hardboard.

Here is the finished painting from yesterday.. I'm really happy with how it came out. I added some bright highlights and thick paint in the foreground that makes the fur really come forward, and added whiskers, and details to his face. This is MY very own baby.. Riley, and if I do say so myself, it looks just like him! Hope you enjoy.

Work in Progress, Papillon

5" x7" Oil on gessoed hardboard.

This is the underpainting, loosely painted in to block in the proper colors and values, and tomorrow I'll go back into it (which also gives it a chance to dry a little, and enable me to work back into it, without it becoming muddy) to give him more definition and subtle details.
