Sammy - Yorkshire Terrier Portrait

"Sammy" - Yorkshire Terrier, 4" x 4"
Ink, watercolor & color pencil

Another painting on the Art Board surface (Cold Press Watercolor Panel). This is a companion portrait to Sydney's (see my last post) and Bailey's (see this post) portraits.




I didn't make a full series of in-progress scans for this portrait, but I do have a scan and a photo I took during the process:


Watercolor (background) and ink (eyes, nose, mouth)
He looks so disapproving at this stage!


Watercolor washes added to Sammy.
The next stage involved adding more watercolor for detail.
That's the stage I didn't scan.

Next portrait on tap is a handsome dark chocolate colored Pit Bull Terrier. I've already completed the portrait of his buddy, a Weimaraner. These portraits are in my "Paintings with Petzazz" style - the vibrant watercolors on Yupo. Stay tuned, I'll post them both soon.
