Barley and Tyeler in Artist's Watercolours...
Here we have the latest 16" x 12' watercolour portrait of two dogs
called Barley and Tyeler. This went off last week with Miranda who
commissioned this as a Birthday present for husband Steve. Should be
framed and presented sometime soon!
Miranda had a very hard time photographing Barley, even though she is
fourteen years old, never sits still for very long. Barley (on the left
of the painting) does look quite a serious girl, however this pose was
derived from only a few photos in focus enough to work from.
Tyeler (on the right) really likes to be photographed and the problem
here was to keep her distant enough from camera as not to get too much
distortion.
Another "wet on wet" watercolour background with rich strong colours
again for both dogs. Thoroughly enjoyable to paint as each dog is
different, one has short spilkey fur and the other quite a smooth wavy
coat.
Looking forward to some photos and feedback from Miranda in the near
future...
Hope that you all enjoy viewing the double portrait...
