Portrait of Sasquatch the cat

I think it's time for me to put down the brush and call Sasquatch's portrait finished!

Below on the left is the original photo that I worked from. The client sent me a couple other photos of Sasquatch which enabled me to paint him closer to his actual colors. On the right is a close-up...lots of little brushstrokes!

Sasquatch's portrait nearly finished!

Just the ears and whiskers to go...plus some touch-ups.

Below is the tiny brush I'm using to get the fine detail and some of the colors that have gone into Sasquatch's portrait.

Sasquatch update

Another Sasquatch sighting! 😀 I got a lot done today, mostly around his face and on the blanket.

First stages of Sasquatch

New commissioned piece in progress - an 8" X 10" acrylic painting of a much-loved cat named Sasquatch. I have the block-in done and I'm ready to start adding detail. I'm really liking the dark shadows in this portrait.

Random Project of the Week - Peregrine watercolor

I used my cheap watercolor pan set for this Peregrine Falcon painting as it was meant to be a test piece to help me practice the composition before I created the "real" piece. Of course, I never got around to creating the "real" piece, so all I have to show is this study done on printer paper.

Random Project of the Week - Hummingbird watercolor

My first piece of art of 2018 - a painting of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird!
I bought myself a whole bunch of presents recently and one of them was a pocket set of Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors. I tested them out the day they arrived and I thought they performed very nicely.
