Riley

Truly is very darling.

Thanks!

*0* Congrats on the feature! You really deserve it. This is one of the best watercolors I've ever seen.

Thank you very much! It means a lot to me. :)

Very adorable! *0* Your watercolor skill just shines through! What type of dog is Riley?

I love the fine detail of the fur here! Did you use a really thin brush to get it like that, or do you leave the shine area in the fur uncolored? ;o

Thanks very much! She's a pure Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and she's an absolute doll.

For this painting, I did a very light wash over each area, then slowly built up the colors with a medium sized round brush. The quality of the brush makes a HUGE difference, I used a synthetic/sable blend. The technique is very simple, a small amount of liquid (almost dry brushing) with a flattened tip, I kind of "zigzagged" the brush doing small chunks at a time opposed to doing individual hairs. The original is 4"x5" and is 100% watercolor, except the whiskers which were scratched with a razor. Hope this answers your question!

Really? Thanks a million!

Beautiful work!
